tonylofgren-aurora-smart-home is a Claude Code plugin that adds Claude skills for Home Assistant, ESPHome, and related smart-home integrations.
About
tonylofgren-aurora-smart-home is a Claude Code plugin that ships skills for developers automating a home with Home Assistant and ESPHome. It targets makers who already run or plan a local smart-home hub and want an agent that speaks their stack—dashboard layout, custom integrations, Node-RED flows, and device configuration—instead of generic coding advice. Use it when you are designing automations, refining ESPHome YAML, or documenting how assistants and entities fit together. The bundle is narrow by design: one plugin aimed at Aurora-style smart-home projects rather than a general dev marketplace. For Skillselion journey placement it sits in Build → Integrations because most value appears while you connect hardware, services, and dashboards; ongoing tweaks in Operate still benefit, but the canonical shelf is integration-heavy build work. Pair it with Claude Code when you want repeatable prompts for HA/ESPHome tasks without building skills from scratch.
- Skills tailored to Home Assistant and ESPHome workflows
- Coverage for custom dashboards, catalog design, and integration patterns
- Node-RED and smart-home automation vocabulary in the plugin bundle
- Single-plugin Aurora bundle focused on residential IoT, not generic SaaS
- Community catalog with smart-home-specific agent guidance
