What is conow-energy?

A service for querying smart-home energy information through an API, which is a programmatic way for software to request data. It covers solar generation, batteries, the power grid, household load, tariffs and forecasts.

Viewing current power flows, consumption and production trends, battery charging or discharging, electricity tariffs, hourly forecasts and optimization effects.

It puts energy readings and planning information in a form an agent can use to answer home-energy questions.

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	$0.00154	$0.07200
Opus 5.5	$0.00062	$0.02880
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00031	$0.01440
Haiku 4.5	$0.00015	$0.00720

Security

Grade A, and why

conow-energy 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_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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 442 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Conow Smart Energy Skill

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 (see Base URL Auto-detection below). You can override by setting CONOW_BASE_URL.
API Reference: See references/api_reference.md
Skill Manifest: See references/skill_manifest.md
Python CLI: See scripts/conow_cli.py

Environment Variable Configuration

Set the following environment variable before use:

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"

Optional variables:

Env var	Flag	Purpose
`CONOW_API_KEY`	`--api-key`	Required. Bearer token starting with `sk-`.
`CONOW_BASE_URL`	`--base-url`	Override gateway URL.
`CONOW_HOME_ID`	`--home-id`	Default `home_id` for queries.
`CONOW_HOMES_PATH`	`--homes-path`	Override list-homes path (default `/v1.0/end-user/homes/all`).
`CONOW_TIMEZONE`	`--timezone`	Force timezone; otherwise auto-derived from `home/station`.

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

Base URL Auto-detection

When CONOW_BASE_URL is not set, the CLI selects a production data center by the sk- key prefix:

Prefix	Base URL
`sk-AY`	`https://openapi.tuyacn.com`
`sk-AZ`	`https://openapi.tuyaus.com`
`sk-EU`	`https://openapi.tuyaeu.com`
`sk-IN`	`https://openapi.tuyain.com`
`sk-UE`	`https://openapi-ueaz.tuyaus.com`
`sk-WE`	`https://openapi-weaz.tuyaeu.com`
`sk-SG`	`https://openapi-sg.iotbing.com`

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
