App Connector · Smart home
Home Assistant
Lights, AC, and TV from chat.
Control lights, climate, TVs, and scenes through your Home Assistant hub, and read its sensors.
What you can do
A connector lets the assistant use an app or tool for you. Once connected, ask it to work with Home Assistant.
See your home
Every device and sensor the hub knows, with its current state.
Control devices
Switch things on and off; set light brightness and color, AC temperature and mode, TV volume and source.
Scenes and services
Activate scenes and call any Home Assistant service, from the vacuum to the garage door.
Look back
Read state history: when a device turned on, off, or changed overnight.
Things you can ask
Type these in chat once the connector is on.
What you need
Use a Home Assistant hub your computer can reach, including one running on a Raspberry Pi. Copy its address and a connection key from your profile. Devices already connected to the hub need no additional setup.
Setup details
Create a long-lived access token in your Home Assistant profile (Security tab) and paste it in with your instance address. Works with any Home Assistant your computer can reach on the network, including one on a Raspberry Pi. Xiaomi, WiZ, Aqara, and every other brand the hub already knows works without extra setup.
Plexon encrypts saved passwords and connection keys on your computer.
When a task uses an online app, that app receives the request. Its results may also be sent to the AI service handling your chat. You can turn the connector on for one workspace and leave it off for another.
Once Home Assistant is on
A connected app is a source. These are the parts of Plexon that draw on it.
- AI Chat & Modes
Turn one on with your own account and the assistant works inside that app.
- Dynamic Workflows
An inbound message or a poll on a connected app starts a run.
A Tool step calls a connector directly, spending zero AI tokens.
- Dashboards
A widget's data can come from a connector tool call, refreshed on a timer.
- Action Record & Tool Rules
A call to a connected app is written down before it runs and again when it ends, with the app named on the row.
