eightctl is a CLI skill for Eight Sleep pod status, temperature, alarms, schedules, audio, and base control.
About
eightctl controls Eight Sleep pods for status, power, temperature, alarms, schedules, audio, and adjustable base settings from the command line. Authentication uses ~/.config/eightctl/config.yaml or EIGHTCTL_EMAIL and EIGHTCTL_PASSWORD environment variables before any mutating command. Quick commands include eightctl status, on, off, and temp with a celsius target for nightly comfort changes. Alarm workflows support list, create, and dismiss operations when users adjust wake routines. Schedule commands list, create, and update bedtime routines tied to the pod account. Audio subcommands expose state, play, and pause for integrated pod speakers. Base commands read info and set angles for adjustable mattress bases. The unofficial API is rate limited so agents should avoid repeated logins and confirm before changing temperature or alarms that affect sleep settings. Install via go install github.com/steipete/eightctl/cmd/eightctl@latest when the openclaw metadata reports the binary is absent. Install guidance covers go install when eightctl is absent. Operators should treat credential storage and rate limits as operational constraints when automating nightly temperature or schedule adj.
