So you are using AI+MCP to create smartapps or RM rules or something different?
The container idea seams interesting, but it sounds like you are using it to substitute some functionality of Kubernetes. but with Kubernetes, you wouldn’t need to ask why is container X not working? It would’ve destroyed the failed instance and started a new one based off a known good config.
but i dont want to derail this topic too far lets focus on the use cases for home automation and AI+MCP provides value to HE.
I feel like you're thinking too prescriptive. The point is to have it available so that people can utilize it "however they want, at spur of the moment".
My apologies, if i came off like that. I’m trying to understand the value of AI+MCP in a home automation context. The questions i’m asking are to better understanding the use case of anyone who is actually using it. In this case i think being specific would actually help a lot… if that is something you are interested in. If not, i understand.
I see the biggest benefits to configure apps like groups, lighting scenes and especially rule machine.
I want to tell it create a rule that turns on the light at 6 PM if it looks is lower than 700 and then turns off the lights at midnight but only if it’s Tuesday.
Or my rule X is not working properly it leave one light open go fix it.
if the TV turns on dim all lights in the bedroom to 50% and turn them orange. When the TV turned off if it’s past 11 PM, but the lights off.
I use AI to write apps. I used it initially to analyze 100+ rules and make a system of apps that would work together and provide more utility and options. I then wrote my own mcp that knows how to pull apps from the hub, edit them based on bugs I told it about, or enhancements needed, validate the syntax, and push them back to the hub. It does it all simply based on the chat I initiate. I did setup a local LLM host using ollama, I can run 15b to 30b models so while a but slower than the cloud, completely local and free. I use hermes and have added the hubitat mcp to it, will try it out later. One thing I did before asking it to write the apps was to read ALL of the hubitat docs, highly recommend that step. I also use openrouter models if I need heavier lifting. Burt all of this is for building, not for running inside the apps , but I am cogitating on that...
