Hubitat Run Skill

Send commands to devices or interact with app instances on the Hubitat hub.

Instructions

Follow these steps exactly:

Step 1: Read Configuration

Read .hubitat.json from the project root to get hub_ip and check if maker_api credentials are configured (both app_id and token must be non-null).

Step 2: Parse Arguments

$ARGUMENTS can be one of:

1. {device_id} {command} — a numeric device ID and a command to send (e.g., 42 on, 42 off, 42 setLevel 50)
2. {device_id} — just a device ID to show its current status
3. {filepath} — a .groovy filename to discover which devices/apps use it
4. No arguments — prompt the user for what they want to do

Step 3: Smart Discovery (if filepath given)

If the argument looks like a file path (contains / or ends in .groovy):

1. Read the file and extract the name from the definition() block
2. Determine if it's an app or driver (based on apps/ or drivers/ in path)
3. Query the hub:
   • Drivers: curl -s "http://{hub_ip}/hub2/userDeviceTypes" → find by name → get usedBy list
   • Apps: curl -s "http://{hub_ip}/hub2/userAppTypes" → find by name → get usedBy list
4. Display the list of devices/instances using this code with their IDs and names
5. Ask the user which device they want to interact with

Step 4: Execute Command

If Maker API is configured:

To send a command:

curl -s "http://{hub_ip}/apps/api/{app_id}/devices/{device_id}/{command}?access_token={token}"

For commands with arguments (e.g., setLevel 50), the format is:

curl -s "http://{hub_ip}/apps/api/{app_id}/devices/{device_id}/{command}/{value}?access_token={token}"

To get device status:

curl -s "http://{hub_ip}/apps/api/{app_id}/devices/{device_id}?access_token={token}"

Display the device's current attributes in a readable format.

If Maker API is NOT configured:

Maker API is required for sending commands. Tell the user:

1. They need to install "Maker API" on their hub
2. Add the target device(s) to Maker API's allowed devices
3. Update .hubitat.json with the app_id and token from Maker API
4. Provide the direct link to the device in the hub UI: http://{hub_ip}/device/edit/{device_id}

Even without Maker API, you can still show device info by querying:

curl -s "http://{hub_ip}/hub2/devicesList"

Find the device by ID and display its current states and attributes.

Step 5: Report Result

After sending a command:

1. Wait 1 second for the device to process
2. Query the device status again to confirm the state changed
3. Report the result: what command was sent, what the device's new state is

Step 6: App Instances

For interacting with app instances (if the user specifies an app):

• Provide the configuration link: http://{hub_ip}/installedapp/configure/{instance_id}
• Show the app's current status from the hub's app list
