Instructions

Guidance the server publishes about itself, which clients place ahead of the tool catalog so the model reads it before choosing anything.

Tools

Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

NameDescription
hubitat_list_devicesA

List devices authorized in Maker API. Returns id, name, label, room, and capabilities summary.

Use when: discovering devices or finding an ID before send_command. Do NOT use when: you already know the device ID (use hubitat_get_device). Note: Rule Machine rules cannot be listed — only devices Maker API can see.

hubitat_get_deviceA

Get a single device's details and current attributes from Maker API.

Use when: you need current state (switch, level, battery, etc.). Do NOT use when: you only need the list of IDs (use hubitat_list_devices).

hubitat_get_device_commandsA

List commands available for a device via Maker API. Prefer this over guessing command names.

Use when: before hubitat_send_command to confirm the command exists. Do NOT use when: sending a known simple Switch on/off.

hubitat_send_commandA

Send a generic Maker API command to a device: /devices/{id}/{command}[/{value}].

Use when: turning devices on/off, setLevel, lock, etc. Do NOT use when: setting color from hex — use hubitat_set_color instead. Validates the command exists via /commands before sending.

hubitat_set_colorA

Set a ColorControl device color from a hex string. Builds the URL-encoded JSON map Maker API expects (including Hubitat's hex extension). Nobody constructs this by hand correctly.

Use when: setting bulb color from #RRGGBB or RRGGBB. Do NOT use when: only changing level or on/off.

hubitat_list_virtual_devicesA

List devices that look like virtual switches/buttons (Rule Machine levers). Rule Machine has no API — flip a virtual switch or set a hub variable to trigger rules.

Use when: finding a virtual switch to drive Rule Machine. Do NOT use when: controlling physical devices (use hubitat_list_devices).

hubitat_get_hub_variableA

Read a Hubitat hub variable (admin route; firmware-sensitive). Hub variables are one of two Rule Machine levers (with virtual switches).

Use when: reading a variable that rules subscribe to. Do NOT use when: controlling a device attribute (use hubitat_get_device).

hubitat_set_hub_variableA

Write a Hubitat hub variable (admin route; firmware-sensitive). Triggers Rule Machine subscriptions on that variable.

Use when: automating Rule Machine without a virtual switch. Do NOT use when: sending a device command (use hubitat_send_command).
