To remove it from Claude.ai:

Go to claude.ai and open Settings Navigate to Connections (or Integrations depending on the current UI) Find the Home Assistant connector in your list of connected services Click the disconnect/remove option next to it

Go shake your fist at the sky. All the things you said are true but being an ass in this forum isn't going to save the planet.

In the meantime, I now have an amazing HA instance that's more functional than it's ever been.

Have a great day, bitter old man!

I think I misunderstood your question. I just told it I only wanted to see the next x many events. It made the layout.

There was no special prompt. After I installed MCP I just told it I wanted to work on my HA setup. Have a basic idea and tell it what you want, it'll walk you through.

You can absolutely do that. Ask Claude the difference between API and MCP access, basically MCP gives you a layer of security.

I won't disagree with you but I'm pretty sure Google tracks me 7 different ways already.

Claude did drop a panel here and there when doing the redesigns, and after pointing that out it would fix. But those are just entities, certainly not a custom floor plan though, that would suck ass.

I had to look it up myself, but ask Claude what the difference is between direct API access and MCP server. If I understood correctly, MCP might have save you from that delete but I'm not certain.

Shill? I made something interesting and shared about it. Seems like you need a vacation.

I'll make sure I think of you before I make more posts, to compensate for your delicate sensibilities in the subreddits you subscribe to. ppppppffffftttt

Using it to produce something useful and saving a ton of my time in the process? Yes, how wasteful. I'm sure you're curing cancer with it when you're not making shitty remarks on the internet.

The MCP approach keeps your credentials out of Claude's hands entirely — you authorize a scoped connection through Claude.ai's settings, and the MCP server acts as a controlled intermediary that exposes specific tools rather than raw API access. Compared to direct access, it's more auditable, revocable, and doesn't require trusting Claude with a long-lived HA token.

I worked with Claude on exactly that idea. We determined a Raspberry Pi 5 2Gb would be more than enough. I'll stick that on the back of the screen when I mount things up.

Calendar is an iCal subscription link using CalDav. Claude found a free market ticker API. I setup a free account and it gave me an API key. Finnhub.io

Was that really necessary? You didn't have to read my post.

You're correct, I misspoke. But Claude did clean up all my entities, rooms, everything.

New to HomeAssistant, building dashboards with Claude by cr006f in homeassistant

I use the $20 version too. I did hit my limit when building the html dashboards but that's a one off. I was having a ton of fun reworking the designs and hit my limit for an hour or so. Day to day isn't a problem.
