How do I share my Home Assistant data with this skill for analysis?

Simply provide a description of the issue along with your automation YAML, trace JSON, or logs; the skill will analyze the logic and state data to pinpoint exactly where the sequence failed or diverged.

Does this skill require me to grant it access to my Home Assistant instance?

No, this skill operates as a standalone logic analyzer to ensure your privacy; it identifies issues based solely on the data you choose to paste or upload without needing remote access to your server.

Can this skill debug automations created in the Home Assistant UI, or only YAML?

The skill is compatible with both YAML-based configurations and UI-created automations, as long as you can provide the configuration text or an exported trace file.

How does this differ from asking a general-purpose AI for help with my code?

Unlike generic AI, this skill is specifically tuned to recognize Home Assistant’s unique trigger logic, condition processing, and trace formatting to provide evidence-based fixes rather than generic advice.

What exactly is included with the purchase of this skill?

You receive a specialized diagnostic framework that interprets complex trace logs and provides targeted YAML recommendations to resolve common issues like 'flapping' triggers or failed conditions.

Example session with this skill installed

My Home Assistant hallway light stayed off. Trace: motion trigger fired; top-level condition sun.sun = below_horizon was false; sun.sun was above_horizon. Why?

Read your context and instructions
Compiled the home assistant automation

The automation triggered, but its sun condition stopped the run before the light action. The evidence points to a condition blocking the action, not a missed motion trigger.

Diagnosis

Evidence you supplied	What it means
Motion trigger fired	This run started from the motion trigger.
Top-level condition required `sun.sun` to be `below_horizon`	The automation required the sun to be below the horizon before continuing.
Actual state was `above_horizon`; condition was false	That requirement was not met, so the run stopped before its actions.

Explanation: The condition explains why this run did not turn on the light. If the light should operate only after sunset, this result matches that requirement. If you wanted it to work during the day too, the condition may not match your intent.

Still unknown: Whether daytime lighting should be allowed. This trace also does not establish whether the light action itself works, because it was not reached.

Next steps

Inspect the sun condition in the automation editor without running the actions.
Tell me whether the light should work during daylight before we consider a change.

About this skill

A light stays off, an automation runs twice, or a routine stops halfway through. Get an evidence-based explanation of what went wrong and a focused next check, without giving anyone access to your home.

What it does

Finds the stopping point: Reviews triggers, conditions, branches, and actions to explain where a run changed course.
Investigates unexpected behavior: Examines missed runs, repeated actions, timing issues, and differences between manual and automatic runs.
Separates facts from guesses: Shows what your evidence supports and what still needs checking.
Suggests targeted changes: When requested, proposes a small YAML change and explains its effect.

How it works

Describe what you expected and what happened instead.
Share relevant configuration, traces, screenshots, or logs with sensitive details removed.
Receive a diagnosis, any important uncertainty, and a low-risk next check.
Ask for a proposed change if needed, then review it before applying it yourself.

Works with

Home Assistant automation YAML, UI configuration, exported traces, entity states, screenshots, and logs. Basic analysis does not require internet access.

Why use this skill

Avoid changing triggers when a condition or action is the actual problem. Focus your troubleshooting on the supplied evidence instead of working through unrelated advice.

Use cases

Explain why a motion-triggered light stayed off.
Investigate repeated runs or skipped branches.
Examine failures after an entity rename or restart.

Known limitations

It cannot connect to Home Assistant or control devices. Conclusions depend on the evidence you share, and version-specific behavior may need verification.
