This is nothing special but it has been very very nice to kick off cleaning jobs remotely via MCP. Working towards a genuinely smart home and this was a useful step in the right direction.

That's... Interesting. But if the goal is to move towards "a genuinely smart home" (as opposed to driving a handful of devices with AI), why not integrate via Home Assistant, which can do all that without the need for this, using a common interface to the whole home?

Home Assistant shipped an MCP server and client: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/mcp_server/

Yep, and there's a community one for driving configuration as well.

a cli would have been better tbh.
