About
Aurora Smart Home is a community plugin by Tony Löfgren for building a smart home around Home Assistant. Describe what you want, and its orchestrator hands the request to the right specialist: firmware, automations, custom integrations, Node-RED flows or dashboards. Before it writes code, it checks pins, I2C addresses, voltages, versions and entity IDs against its reference data, and when a request can't work it stops and shows you the fix. What you can do with it - Generate ESPHome firmware for ESP32 and ESP8266 boards, with the pins checked against the board's profile and a wiring diagram - Write Home Assistant automations, blueprints and scripts in current syntax, using entities that actually exist - Build Python custom integrations with a config flow and a HACS-ready layout - Create Node-RED flows and design Home Assistant dashboards - Connect outside services such as Tibber, SMHI, OpenWeatherMap and Spotify using documented API patterns - Paste a config you already have and get a review with line-numbered fixes - Start from a ready-made recipe, such as a CO2 monitor, a motion light or vacation mode How it works The plugin bundles the /aurora:aurora orchestrator command with topic skills for ESPHome, Home Assistant, integration development, Node-RED, an API catalog and dashboard design. The topic skills also load on their own when you mention their subject. A project that spans firmware, an automation and a dashboard is built as one folder on disk, with a README covering the parts list, wiring, install steps and troubleshooting. Good to know - It's markdown and JSON with no runtime dependencies. It runs in your agent; it isn't a Home Assistant add-on. - Its maker documents installing it in Claude Code and the OpenAI Codex CLI. - When it starts, it checks for a newer release with the GitHub CLI, if you have it installed. - It's an independent community project, provided as is. Smart home work can involve mains power, batteries, locks, water and heating, so check what it gives you before you use it.
Once it’s added
“I want a temperature sensor with an OLED display on an ESP32.”
“Turn the lights on at sunset and off at midnight.”
“Motion lights: a sensor on an ESP32, the automation in Home Assistant and a tile on the dashboard.”
“Write a Python integration for the Acme cloud API, ready for HACS.”
“Review this YAML for me.”
“I want to do something about air quality.”
