One-time Home Assistant setup for this hermit. Configures HA access, connects to the official Home Assistant MCP Server integration, and verifies both the CLI and HA MCP. Run once per project after /hermitd:hatch.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Home Assistant Hatch
Set up the Home Assistant layer for this project. Idempotent — safe to re-run; will skip completed steps and offer re-verify only.
## Plan
### 1. Prereq check
Check whether `.hermit/config.json` exists.
- If it is missing, print this block and stop:
```markdown
## ▶ Next step — type this now
/hermitd:hatch
I can't run setup wizards for you (they're operator-run by design).
After it finishes, come back and type `/hermitd-homeassistant:hatch`.
```
- If it is present: run `.hermit/bin/hermitd-run domain-hatch preflight hermitd-homeassistant` and parse the JSON verdict. Branch on `action`:
- `upgrade-core-package` / `upgrade-core-applied` → relay the `remedy` string verbatim to the operator and stop.
- `verify` → `AskUserQuestion`: "Already set up. Re-verify HA access only (skip setup wizard)?". Yes → skip to §5. No → continue.
- `full` → continue with setup.
- `ok: false` → relay `message` and stop.
### 2. Verify .env
Run `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ha-agent-lab boot status` and inspect the JSON output.

How to install
mdr add gtapps/hermitd/hatch@sha256:e4d499510ac61e25The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.9038910, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
