# Home Info — seed for the LobeChat morning-briefing agent

Discovered via the Home Assistant MCP (gateway → `home-assistant`) on 2026-05-18. Home Assistant: ~2492 entities, 40 domains, 19 areas, 2 floors. Language: German.

## Layout

- Floors: Erdgeschoss (level 0) + one upper floor; 19 areas total.
- Erdgeschoss areas incl.: Badezimmer, Büro, Esszimmer, Gang, Küche, Wohnzimmer, Schlafzimmer, Kinderzimmer, Technikraum, Terrasse … (+ more).

## Key systems

- Heat pump: NIBE S1255-6 E (geothermal/brine, BT10 brine-in sensor).
- Home battery / solar: EcoFlow PowerOcean (`PowerOcean emsBpPower`, `Battery HJ3AZDH5ZG3G0384`, switches `Hausbatterie: Entladesperre`, `Hausbatterie: Fahrzeug zuerst`). Solar forecast: `Solar Prognose`, `sensor.energy_production_today`, `sensor.energy_current_hour`, `sensor.energy_next_hour`.
- EV charging: evcc + PowerPulse wallbox (AC31ZEH4AG130052). Vehicle = BYD.
- Spa: Whirlpool (heat-pump spa). Filter cycles, thermostat.
- Other: Philips Hue (lights), smoke detectors (Rauchmelder, w/ temp+humidity), Siemens dishwasher, dryer, Sonos (Playbase/TV), QNAP NAS, 3D printer, grow tent, voice satellites + Piper (local TTS available in HA).

## Briefing entities (use these in the morning briefing)

Briefing item | Entity / source | Notes
--- | --- | ---
Car state of charge | `sensor.evcc_byd_configvehicle_soc` | % (e.g. 98)
Car range | `sensor.evcc_byd_configvehicle_range` | km (e.g. 422)
Car charge limit | `number.evcc_powerpulse_limit_soc` | %
Solar battery (house) | PowerOcean / `select.evcc_buffer_soc`; use `ha_search_entities "PowerOcean"` / `ha_get_state` for the live battery-SoC sensor | exact SoC sensor: query PowerOcean at briefing time
Solar production today | `sensor.energy_production_today` | kWh
Solar forecast (hour/next) | `sensor.energy_current_hour`, `sensor.energy_next_hour` |
Grid import | `sensor.evcc_powerpulse_charge_total_import` | kWh
Spa temperature | `sensor.whirlpool_temperatur` | °C (e.g. 36.7)
Spa thermostat | `climate.spa_thermostat` | mode (heat)
Spa target temp | `number.spa_target_desired_temperature` | °C
Spa pH / bromine | NOT in Home Assistant — no pH/bromine sensors exist | omit, or user adds them later / states manually
Weather forecast | `weather.wetter` | use `ha_get_state` for forecast attrs
Timeline highlights | Bluesky MCP (`bluesky`) — pending fix | once bluesky MCP works
Memos recap (yesterday) | Memos MCP (`memos`) — `search_memo` / list by date | working

## Systematic inventory (2026-05-18)

Floor Erdgeschoss (level 0) — 13 areas: Badezimmer, Büro, Esszimmer, Gang, Garderobe, Gästezimmer, Kinderzimmer, Küche, Schlafzimmer, Speis, Technikraum, WC, Wohnzimmer. Floor Außen (outdoor) — 6 areas: Eingang, Garage, Grillplatz, Ruheplatz, Terrasse, Grow.

Domain counts (2492 entities / 40 domains): sensor 1309, switch 189, update 154, button 152, number 148, binary_sensor 143, select 141, light 62, device_tracker 55, event 33, automation 20, camera 10, notify 9, media_player 8, cover 8, zone 4, fan 4, person 3, image 3, scene 2, climate 2, calendar 1, water_heater 1, weather 1, vacuum 1, humidifier 1, tts 1, stt 1, todo 1, assist_satellite 1, sun 1.

## Notifications / alerts for the briefing

HA has no `alert` domain; surface alerts from: - Persistent notifications: `ha_get_state` on `persistent_notification.*` (or `ha_search_entities "notification"`). - Problem/safety binary_sensors in `on`: smoke (Rauchmelder), water leak (Wasserticker/"Batterie fast leer"), low-battery sensors — search `ha_search_entities "leer"` / `"rauch"` / `"leak"`, report any `state=on`. - Automations named like alerts: e.g. `automation.low_battery` (state on). - Pending updates count: domain `update` (154 entities; report how many `on`). The agent should call `ha_get_state`/`ha_search_entities` at briefing time and list only items currently in an alert state (don't dump everything).

## Caveats

- Spa pH & bromine are not exposed by the Whirlpool integration — only temperature/filter. The briefing should skip them (or note "no chemistry sensors") unless the user adds manual input_number/sensor entities.
- House-battery SoC sensor name varies (PowerOcean); the agent should resolve it live via `ha_search_entities "PowerOcean"` + `ha_get_state` rather than a hardcoded id.
