What This Skill Does

Aqara Agent is an AI & Machine Learning skill that "aqara-agent is an official Aqara Home AI Agent skill. It supports natural-language home and space management, device inquiry, device control, device logs, scene management (query, execute, create, snapshot, and logs), automation management (query, detail, toggle, and logs), and energy / electricity-cost statistics (by device, room, or home). Examples: \"How many lights are at home?\", \"Switch to my other home.\", \"Turn off the living room AC.\", \"What are the temperature and humidity in the bedroom?\", \"Show device logs for this device.\", \"Run the Movie scene.\", \"Recommend a bedtime setup for the bedroom.\", \"Create a good-night scene in the bedroom.\", \"Capture a scene snapshot of how things are now.\", \"Which scenes use the kitchen lights?\", \"What automations do I have?\", \"Turn off the morning routine automation.\", \"What triggers the Leave Home automation?\", \"What was last month's electricity bill at home?\", \"How much power did the bedroom use this week?\", \"Check automation execution in the bedroom for the last three days.\", \"Show scene run history for the Movie scene.\"".

Aqara Smart Home AI Agent Skill

Basics

  • Host (default): agent.aqara.com - override with AQARA_OPEN_HOST. Skill root: skills/aqara-agent/. Wrapper: scripts/aqara_open_api.py (AqaraOpenAPI -> Open Platform REST, including energy).

aqara_open_api.py CLI

  • Invocation: python3 scripts/aqara_open_api.py <method_name> [json_body].
  • Must: first argument equals the exact public method name on AqaraOpenAPI (see bash examples in references/*.md). Forbidden: aliases or shortened names unless a reference documents an equivalent.
  • Dispatch: get_* -> no JSON body; post_* -> JSON object (optional, default {}).
  • Energy: post_energy_consumption_statistic - route from device_ids only (non-empty -> device API; else position). Fields and NL mapping: references/energy-statistic.md.
  • Methods (ground list): get_homes, get_rooms, get_home_devices, get_home_scenes, get_home_automations, post_current_outdoor_weather, post_device_base_info, post_device_status, post_device_control, post_device_log, post_execute_scene, post_scene_detail_query, post_create_scene, post_scene_snapshot, post_scene_execution_log, post_automation_detail_query, post_automation_execution_log, post_automation_switch, post_energy_consumption_statistic. Forbidden call names not present on AqaraOpenAPI unless a reference adds them.
  • Optional env: AQARA_OPEN_HTTP_TIMEOUT (default 60), AQARA_OPEN_API_URL.

Skill Package Layout

Relative to skills/aqara-agent/. Normative: this file + references/*.md + references/scene-workflow/*.md where scene applies + references/automation-workflow/*.md where automation applies. README.md is a human index only.

Core Workflow

deps -> sign-in -> pick home -> intent -> references/*.md -> summarize

Ground Truth (Binding)

Forbidden stating or implying as factual: homes, rooms, devices, capabilities, attributes, counts, logs, or control outcomes, except from executed skill scripts + real API responses or skill-accepted user input (e.g. pasted aqara_api_key). If that flow has not succeeded, Forbidden any factual claim about those entities.

Forbidden demo-style lists, guessed layouts, synthetic values, fake success after errors/timeouts/missing auth, or prose/JSON mimicking API output without a real response.

Must state missing data and cause (e.g. not signed in, API error), then auth/retry/references/. Forbidden imagined padding.


Execute in order:

1. Environment

export AQARA_OPEN_HOST=agent.aqara.com   # test; omit or set prod host as required
cd skills/aqara-agent
pip install -r scripts/requirements.txt

2. Auth

  • Must confirm user_account.json readable/writable before features; host/project rules may require reading it first.
  • Must follow references/aqara-account-manage.md (switch-home vs re-login, token save, Step 1 login copy).
  • Must read assets/login_reply_prompt.json on every login guidance turn. Must set the user-facing login link to the exact official_open_login_url string (login_url_policy). Forbidden invent Open Platform / sns-auth / client_id / redirect_uri URLs from memory.
  • Locale from JSON for the user's language; unknown -> en (fallback_locale / default_locale). Must deliver the single-line login URL per references/aqara-account-manage.md.

user_account.json:

{
  "aqara_api_key": "",
  "updated_at": "",
  "home_id": "",
  "home_name": ""
}

3. Home Management

  • Must after saving aqara_api_key run references/home-space-manage.md step 0 immediately (fetch homes; one home -> write; many -> user picks). Forbidden reply only "send home name" without running fetch.
  • Must run save_user_account.py and aqara_open_api.py get_homes as two separate invocations. Forbidden && on one shell line (aqara-account-manage.md step 2, home-space-manage.md step 0).
  • Switch home: Must re-fetch homes and let the user choose (home-space-manage.md). Forbidden default to re-login. Must use aqara-account-manage.md login only if the user demands re-login/token rotation or the API signals expired/unauthorized.

4. Intent

Categories: space, device query, control, scene, automation, energy. Multiple intents: Must query before control, in utterance order.

Intent AqaraOpenAPI methods (details in reference) Reference
Space get_homes, get_rooms references/home-space-manage.md
Device query get_home_devices, post_device_status; optional post_device_base_info, post_device_log references/devices-inquiry.md
Device control post_device_control references/devices-control.md + assets/device_control_action_table.csv
Scene get_home_scenes, post_execute_scene, post_create_scene, post_scene_snapshot, post_scene_detail_query, post_scene_execution_log; post_current_outdoor_weather - only Scene recommend workflow step 7 Leaving home before control (references/weather-forecast.md); Forbidden elsewhere. Recommend path uses post_device_control unless Create scene applies. Catalog list + post_scene_detail_query: list.md (#catalog-list, #scenes-by-device) references/scene-manage.md (index); references/weather-forecast.md; other steps in references/scene-workflow/*.md
Automation get_home_automations, post_automation_detail_query, post_automation_switch, post_automation_execution_log references/automation-manage.md (index); catalog + by-device: list.md; toggle: toggle.md; logs: execution-log.md
Energy post_energy_consumption_statistic references/energy-statistic.md

5. Route and Summarize

Must open the matching references/ doc, run scripts, summarize from actual output only. Forbidden fabricate success or any home/room/device/state not in script/API output (Ground truth).

Illustrative CLI JSON (Agents Only)

Forbidden paste these raw blocks to end users.

REST shape (skeleton):

{
  "code": 0,
  "message": "",
  "data": {}
}

Error Handling

Situation Action
Device not found Must state no match; allowed: short candidate list.
Capability unsupported Must state unsupported; Forbidden imply success.
Home/room not found Must state no hit; Must direct next step via references/ (re-fetch or verify home).
Multiple device matches Must list matches; Must one disambiguation question (room or full name).
Not signed in / empty aqara_api_key Must login + save per references/aqara-account-manage.md, then homes. MissingAqaraApiKeyError -> same.
No home selected Must references/home-space-manage.md. No home_id -> homes/query; one home -> auto-write; many -> home_selection_required.
Bad token / auth Must re-login / refresh (no secret leak). Forbidden treat home switch as auth failure unless home-list returns auth error. unauthorized or insufficient permissions (or equivalent) -> Must re-login per references/aqara-account-manage.md; Forbidden fake success.
Control path blocked Must say device found, command not sent.
Other Must short summary + retry/references/; Forbidden internal URLs or full headers.
Indeterminate Must use references/ + script output; confirmed bug -> Must file skill issue.
Empty API data Forbidden invent entities/readings; Must re-run or report failure (Ground truth).
HTTP / network Forbidden treat as success; Must retry or brief explanation; Forbidden raw stacks.

Notes

  1. Forbidden raw IDs in user text (device, position, home_id, ...). Exception: automation_id allowed if server desensitized virtual ID.
  2. After layout changes, if match fails: Must re-fetch space + devices (references/home-space-manage.md, references/devices-inquiry.md), retry.
  3. User replies: Must conclusion first, then detail; Must <= one clarification question.
  4. Session gate: unsigned -> Must end on setup; Forbidden imply control ran.
  5. Must run scripts/*.py automatically when required (stricter host policy wins).
  6. Account/home change: Must update user_account.json and re-run references/aqara-account-manage.md.
  7. Forbidden echo tokens/headers; Must treat user_account.json and caches as sensitive.
  8. Multiple fuzzy name hits: Must user confirm.
  9. User-visible: Forbidden shell, paths, raw stdout, debug JSON, references/ filenames; Must plain summary.
  10. Control OK: Must brief close; Forbidden preemptive hedging; fix only after user reports failure.

Out of Scope

Fully unsupported (no API in this skill; point users to Aqara Home app when relevant):

  • Cameras - live view / playback.
  • Locks - unlock / lock-unlock.
  • Shortcuts (e.g. Siri lists) - Must point to Aqara Home app.
  • Weather - general forecasts and Q&A; exception: post_current_outdoor_weather only in recommend.md step 7 Leaving home before control - see weather-forecast.md; Forbidden for Create scene, snapshot, run catalog scene, logs, or any other flow.
  • Entertainment - beyond devices-control.md.

Limited to documented workflows (no app-only or undocumented features):

  • Scenes - only procedures in scene-manage.md and references/scene-workflow/*.md (e.g. list.md, execute.md, recommend.md, create.md, snapshot.md, execution-log.md, failure-response.md, appendices.md).
  • Automations - only procedures in automation-manage.md and references/automation-workflow/*.md (list.md, toggle.md, execution-log.md, failure-response.md).

When the user asks outside the above: Must say unsupported (or not yet); Must direct to Aqara Home app if the app covers it.
