# Home Assistant Manager Expert-level Home Assistant configuration management with efficient workflows, remote CLI access, and verification protocols. ## Core Capabilities - Remote Home Assistant instance management via SSH and hass-cli - Smart deployment workflows (git-based and rapid iteration) - Configuration validation and safety checks - Automation testing and verification - Log analysis and error detection - Reload vs restart optimization - Lovelace dashboard development and optimization - Template syntax patterns and debugging - Tablet-optimized UI design ## Prerequisites Before starting, verify the environment has: 1. SSH access to Home Assistant instance (`root@homeassistant.local`) 2. `hass-cli` installed locally 3. Environment variables loaded (HASS_SERVER, HASS_TOKEN) 4. Git repository connected to HA `/config` directory 5. Context7 MCP server with Home Assistant docs (recommended) ## Remote Access Patterns ### Using hass-cli (Local, via REST API) All `hass-cli` commands use environment variables automatically: ```bash # List entities hass-cli state list # Get specific state hass-cli state get sensor.entity_name # Call services hass-cli service call automation.reload hass-cli service call automation.trigger --arguments entity_id=automation.name ``` ### Using SSH for HA CLI ```bash # Check configuration validity ssh root@homeassistant.local "ha core check" # Restart Home Assistant ssh root@homeassistant.local "ha core restart" # View logs ssh root@ho...
