The full story
The owner runs OpenClaw, an always-on Claude agent that connects to Home Assistant through ha-mcp, keeps memory between sessions in markdown files, speaks through Google Home speakers and chats over Telegram. When the landing motion lights had been broken for two days, the agent found two dead Hue bulbs causing errors, deleted the broken blueprint automation and created a new one with night and day modes and pauses for the baby's naps.
The owner runs it sandboxed in an LXC container because of prompt injection concerns, and notes that costs can add up on per-token pricing.
