SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Managing Xiaodu smart home devices and IoT hardware typically requires manual app interaction; this Skill lets an AI agent list devices, send control actions, and trigger scenes programmatically through the Xiaodu MCP protocol.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Device Listing: Query all connected Xiaodu devices with their IDs and status via the MCP list_devices tool.
  • Device Control: Turn devices on or off and pass optional parameter values using the control_device tool.
  • Scene Automation: Execute named scenes such as a home-arrival mode through the execute_scene tool.
  • Use Case: Ask the agent to turn on the living room light or activate a "coming home" scene, and it calls the Xiaodu MCP server with your configured key to perform the action.

Quick Start

Set the XIAODU_MCP_KEY environment variable, then ask the agent to list my Xiaodu devices and turn on the light with ID light-001.

Frequently Asked Questions about openakita/skills@xiaodu-control

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I control Xiaodu smart home devices from the command line?▼

Run the xiaodu_mcp.py script with the control subcommand, passing --device with the device ID and --action such as on or off. The script sends a JSON-RPC tools/call request to the Xiaodu MCP server.

How do I list all devices connected to Xiaodu MCP?▼

Set the XIAODU_MCP_KEY environment variable and run python3 scripts/xiaodu_mcp.py devices. The script initializes an MCP session and calls the list_devices tool, printing each device ID, status, and name.

What credentials does the Xiaodu MCP client need?▼

The client requires the XIAODU_MCP_KEY environment variable, which is inserted into the MCP server URL. You can optionally override the endpoint with XIAODU_MCP_URL. Without the key, the script exits with an error.

Does the Xiaodu MCP client require external Python packages?▼

No external packages are needed. The script uses only the Python standard library (argparse, json, os, sys, urllib) to make JSON-RPC 2.0 calls over HTTP to the MCP server.

Why does the Xiaodu control script fail with an authentication error?▼

Failures usually occur when XIAODU_MCP_KEY is unset or invalid, causing the script to exit before connecting. HTTP errors from the server are printed with the status code and response body for diagnosis.
