One of the first things I had Grok Bot connect to was my Home Assistant setup

Connect the bot to Home Assistant and it can drive the whole house, including the car via Tessie: it flashed a Model Y's lights and announced it on an Alexa speaker.

For

You already run Home Assistant and want to control it in plain words.

When you're done

Lights, heating, plugs, Alexa and the car controllable through the bot.

How

  1. 01

    Connect Grok Bot to your Home Assistant setup.

  2. 02

    Make sure devices like lights, heating, Alexa, plugs and the car (via Tessie) are in Home Assistant.

  3. 03

    Give it a combined command, e.g. flash the car's lights and confirm out loud on a named Alexa.

Notes

What's good: one connection to Home Assistant exposes everything already wired into it. The catch: the post doesn't show how the connection was set up.
