SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automations in Home Assistant can fail silently when logs contain errors that go unnoticed. This skill scans the error log, counts occurrences per automation, and surfaces automations with recurring error lines.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Daily automation health checks that detect patterns of failures across automations.
  • Surface automations with three or more matching error appearances to trigger proactive fixes.
  • Output a structured audit file to the hermit raw directory for review and remediation.

Quick Start

Configure and run the ha-automation-error-review daily to scan your Home Assistant error log and surface recurring automation failures.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find recurring Home Assistant automation errors in my error log?

To find recurring Home Assistant automation errors, you can scan the /api/error_log endpoint and count error occurrences per automation to flag those with three or more matching hits for proactive fixes.

What is the best way to debug intermittent Home Assistant automation failures?

The best way to debug intermittent Home Assistant automation failures is to analyze the error log for recurring patterns, counting per-automation error hits to surface automations that fail repeatedly rather than silently.

Can I adjust the error threshold for flagging automations in a noisy Home Assistant environment?

Yes, you can adjust the error threshold for flagging automations by using an optional --min-hits override to raise the default limit of three hits, filtering out background noise in busier deployments.

How do I run a daily automation health check across my HA deployment?

You can run a daily automation health check by reading the Home Assistant error log, counting failures per automation, and writing structured audit findings to track reliability improvements over time.

Where are the structured audit results stored when reviewing Home Assistant automation errors?

The structured audit results are written to the .claude-code-hermit/raw/ directory, generating files named audit-ha-automation-errors-* for review and remediation tracking.

Do I need any additional Home Assistant integrations to detect automation error patterns?

No additional integrations are needed to detect automation error patterns; the review process reads the built-in /api/error_log directly and requires no external dependencies to count and flag failures.
