[German] Snips voice assistant app/skills for lights

I’ve just finished my app for the german snips app store: https://console.snips.ai/store/de/skill_Mb2EmQZ332g

It is capable of controlling lights in home assistant. I know that there is other ways to achieve this (namely intent_script), but I wanted to follow another approach. This app directly controls lights (if they are named correctly) without additional scripts/intents configuration in home assistant. Project details & manual can be found here: https://github.com/patrickjane/snipslightsha

Features:

  • turn on/off a light (via room name, lamp name or by snips location)
  • turn on/off all lights
  • enable/disable automatic lights, “Hey Snips, lass das Licht aus” (disables corresponding automations)
  • set brightness of a light (only via lamp name)

The app connects to home assistant via the REST interface. During installation you will need 1) HA URL (e.g. http://localhost:8123) 2) long lived access token (created in the HA UI / profile).

Hope someone might find this useful :slight_smile:
