lilhomie
Control HomeKit devices via REST API. Use when controlling lights, switches, scenes, or checking device status in the user's home.
Best use case
lilhomie is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Control HomeKit devices via REST API. Use when controlling lights, switches, scenes, or checking device status in the user's home.
Teams using lilhomie should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill

# lilhomie - HomeKit REST API
Control HomeKit devices from your AI assistant. lilhomie is a macOS app that exposes HomeKit via a local REST API.
## When to use (trigger phrases)
- "turn on/off the lights"
- "toggle the [device name]"
- "control my home"
- "what devices are on?"
- "trigger [scene name] scene"
- "turn on/off the [room]"
## Prerequisites
- macOS 13.0+ with lilhomie.app installed and running
- HomeKit devices configured in Apple Home
- lilhomie server running on `localhost:8420`
## API Basics
Base URL: `http://localhost:8420`
**Important:** Use underscores for spaces in device/room names: `Desk_Lamp`, `Guest_Bedroom`
## Common Commands
### List all devices
```bash
curl localhost:8420/devices
```
### Toggle a device
```bash
curl -X POST localhost:8420/device/Desk_Lamp/toggle
```
### Get device status
```bash
curl localhost:8420/device/Desk_Lamp
```
### Room-scoped toggle (for duplicate names)
```bash
curl -X POST localhost:8420/room/Office/device/Lamp/toggle
```
### Turn room on/off
```bash
curl -X POST localhost:8420/room/Office/on
curl -X POST localhost:8420/room/Office/off
```
### List scenes
```bash
curl localhost:8420/scenes
```
### Trigger a scene
```bash
curl -X POST localhost:8420/scene/Good_Night/trigger
```
## Endpoints Reference
| Method | Endpoint | Description |
|--------|----------|-------------|
| GET | `/devices` | List all devices |
| GET | `/device/{name}` | Get device details |
| POST | `/device/{name}/toggle` | Toggle device |
| POST | `/device/{name}/set` | Set brightness/state |
| GET | `/rooms` | List all rooms |
| GET | `/room/{name}` | Get devices in room |
| POST | `/room/{name}/on` | Turn all room devices on |
| POST | `/room/{name}/off` | Turn all room devices off |
| POST | `/room/{r}/device/{d}/toggle` | Room-scoped toggle |
| GET | `/scenes` | List all scenes |
| POST | `/scene/{name}/trigger` | Trigger a scene |
## Known Issues
- Toggle response `isOn` state may be inverted (#1)
- Use room-scoped endpoints when device names are duplicated across rooms
## Tips
1. Always use room-scoped endpoints for devices with common names like "Light" or "Lamp"
2. Don't trust the `isOn` field in responses until issue #1 is fixed
3. If unsure of device names, query `/devices` firstRelated Skills
