Wha tis Home Assistant AI Automation Suggester? Remember the last time you spent three hours debugging a single Home Assistant automation? Or are you just wondering what can you automate with your existing setup? What about the frustration of missing semicolons, incorrect indentation, and that automation that should work but just… doesn’t?
What if I told you those days might come to an end!
Here’s the truth: manually creating Home Assistant automation is becoming obsolete sooner than later. With this tool or another. And tonight, I’m testing it live.

🔴 JOIN THE LIVE TEST (December 12, 2025 – 8:30 PM UTC)
I’m putting the new HA AI Automation Suggester through its paces in a live demonstration. This isn’t a scripted demo—it’s a real test to see if AI can actually generate working Home Assistant automations better than we can manually.
What you’ll see:
- AI scanning an entire smart home setup
- Real-time Home Assistant automation generation
- Copy-paste YAML that actually works (hopefully!)
- Live Q&A and troubleshooting

The Problem: Home Assistant Automation Making Is Powerful But Painful
Look, we all love Home Assistant. It’s flexible, powerful, and completely customizable. But let’s be honest—creating complex Home Assistant automation can feel like learning a foreign language.
There has to be a better way.
Enter: AI Automation Suggester
This tool is not part of official HA nor the official Home Assistant integrations, but it flips the script entirely. Instead of you writing automations, AI does it for you.
Here’s how it works:
- AI scans your entire smart home – Every device, area, and entity gets analyzed
- You describe what you want – In plain English, not code
- AI generates ready-to-use YAML – Complete with triggers, conditions, and actions
- Copy, paste, done – No debugging required
The best part? It supports every major AI model you can think of:
- OpenAI (ChatGPT)
- Google Gemini
- Groq
- Ollama (Local or in the Cloud)
- And more…
Whether you want cloud AI or prefer keeping everything local, this tool has you covered.
Why This Changes Everything for Home Assistant Automation
Think about your typical Home Assistant automation workflow:
Old way: Spend 30 minutes searching forums → Try to adapt someone else’s code → Debug for an hour → Finally get it working → Repeat for every automation
New way: AI scan what you already have and you may type what you want → Get working YAML in seconds → Paste and test → Move on with your life
This isn’t just faster—it’s fundamentally different. You’re not fighting with syntax anymore. You’re having a conversation about what you want your smart home to do.
No more “Automation Writer’s Block.” No more staring at blank YAML files. No more late-night debugging sessions.
How to Install AI Automation Suggester (The Easy Way)
Option 1: HACS Installation (Recommended) ⭐
This is the easiest method and takes about 2 minutes:
- Make sure HACS is installed – If you don’t have it yet, grab HACS here
- Open HACS – Go to HACS → Integrations in your Home Assistant
- Click the + button – Look for it in the bottom right corner
- Search for “AI Automation Suggester” – Type it exactly as shown
- Download it – Click on the integration and hit Download
- Restart Home Assistant – Settings → System → Restart
- Add the integration – Settings → Devices & Services → + Add Integration → Search for “AI Automation Suggester”
Done! You now have AI-powered Home Assistant automation at your fingertips.
Option 2: Manual Installation
Prefer doing things manually? Here’s how:
- Download the integration files – Get them from GitHub
- Find your config folder – This is where your
configuration.yamllives - Create the folder structure – Make a
custom_componentsfolder if you don’t have one - Copy the files – Put the
ai_automation_suggesterfolder insidecustom_components
Your folder should look like this:
<your_homeassistant_folder>/
└── custom_components/
└── ai_automation_suggester/
├── __init__.py
└── (other files)
- Restart Home Assistant – Settings → System → Restart
- Add the integration – Settings → Devices & Services → + Add Integration → Search for “AI Automation Suggester”
Real-World Use Cases for Home Assistant AI Automation Suggester
Still wondering if this is worth it? Here are scenarios where AI automation shines:
Complex lighting scenes – “Turn on movie mode when the TV starts after sunset, but only if someone’s home”
Security automations – “Alert me if motion is detected in the garage when we’re away, but ignore the cat”
Climate control – “Adjust the thermostat based on outdoor temperature, time of day, and room occupancy”
Morning routines – “Gradually turn on lights, start the coffee maker, and read the news when my alarm goes off on weekdays”
Instead of spending hours figuring out the right triggers and conditions, you describe what you want and get working Home Assistant automation in seconds.
What We’re Testing in Tonight’s Livestream
Tonight’s live session will answer the big questions:
- Can AI actually understand complex smart home scenarios?
- Does the generated YAML work without modifications?
- Is it faster than manual Home Assistant automation creation?
- What happens when we throw curveballs at it?
This is a real test, not a sales pitch. If it fails, you’ll see it fail. If it works, you’ll see exactly how to use it yourself.

The Bottom Line: Is Manual Home Assistant Automation Dead?
Maybe “dead” is too strong. But it’s definitely on life support soon.
AI isn’t replacing your creativity or knowledge—it’s amplifying it. You still decide what your smart home should do. AI just handles the tedious part of translating your ideas into working code.
For simple automations, sure, you might still write them manually. But for anything complex? For automations that would normally take an hour to debug? For ideas you’ve been putting off because they seemed too complicated?
AI Home Assistant automation is the answer.
See you tonight at the livestream. Let’s find out together if this tool lives up to the hype.
