What is conow-device?

A command-line interface for retrieving information about Tuya generic devices and Conow energy devices through one automatically selected route.

Use it to inspect device lists, details, models, properties, alarms, indicators, topology, protocols, and issues; energy-device control requires confirmation.

It removes the need to decide which device API to call and provides a single way to use the same bearer token for both device types.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00240	$0.06186
Opus 5.5	$0.00096	$0.02474
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00048	$0.01237
Haiku 4.5	$0.00024	$0.00619

Security

Grade A, and why

conow-device scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/conow_device_cli.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Conow Device Skill (Generic + Energy)

This skill exposes per-device end-user APIs through a single CLI. The same sk- Bearer token can address both Tuya generic devices and Conow energy devices; the CLI internally calls GET /v1.0/end-user/energy/devices/topo and GET /v1.0/end-user/energy/devices/protocol to decide which branch to use, so callers do not need to make that decision themselves.

Basic Information

Authentication: Via Header Authorization: Bearer {Api-key}
Credentials: Read from environment variable CONOW_API_KEY. Base URL is auto-detected from the API key prefix. Override with CONOW_BASE_URL if needed.
API Reference: See references/device_routing.md
Energy device control (confirm gate): See references/device_control_confirm.md
Python CLI: See scripts/conow_device_cli.py

Environment Variable Configuration

export CONOW_API_KEY="your-conow-api-key"
# CONOW_BASE_URL is optional — auto-detected from the sk- key prefix.
# Set it only if your deployment provides a dedicated gateway URL, e.g.:
# export CONOW_BASE_URL="https://openapi.tuyaeu.com"

Env var	Flag	Purpose
`CONOW_API_KEY`	`--api-key`	Required. Bearer token starting with `sk-`.
`CONOW_BASE_URL`	`--base-url`	Override gateway URL.
`CONOW_DEVICE_ID`	`--dev-id`	Optional. Default devId for device commands (overridden by `--dev-id`).

The skill will not load if CONOW_API_KEY is missing. Never echo the raw key back to the user.

Routing Boundaries

Scope	Handling
Account/home device inventory, single device status, control, Thing Model, topology, protocol, alarms, device indicators	Use this skill
Home-level consumption, generation, indicator aggregate/trend, tariff, forecast, or AI dispatch schedule	Out of scope for this device skill

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
