## Summary

A home automation enthusiast says Claude and Codex can write the deterministic routines that run a smart home locally, without cloud servers. He uses Home Assistant with the community "Unofficial and Awesome HA MCP," which lets the agents handle the configuration, automations, and debugging. He describes house modes such as Home, Away, Sleep, and Out of Town, switched by phone location sensors, and lighting that adjusts through the Adaptive Lighting package.
