The AI changes my Home Assistant for me when I ask, dashboards included

He runs the AI on his PC with ha-mcp on the same machine, so the AI can reach into Home Assistant and make the changes he asks for. He keeps it on his own PC only, and says a new dashboard is done as soon as he describes it.

How it works

  1. Runs the AI on his PC with ha-mcp alongside
  2. Asks the AI for a change in Home Assistant
  3. The AI makes the change, such as building a new dashboard

Why it’s worth knowing

His home system takes plain requests and turns them into real changes, with nothing extra added to Home Assistant itself.
