HA Morning Brief

A house-focused morning brief that combines live HA state with hermit session context. Designed to run as the morning-brief routine at start of day.

When both hermitd and hermitd-homeassistant are installed and morning-brief is enabled, this skill subsumes /hermitd:brief --morning — operators should disable the core morning routine to avoid duplicate notifications. For hermits without HA, /hermitd:brief --morning remains the standalone path.

Steps

1. Time & context — Call GetDateTime for current time. Read .hermit/OPERATOR.md for priorities and language preferences.

2. Fetch overnight history: Run ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ha-agent-lab ha fetch-history --window-days 1. On non-zero exit, pipe one line into .hermit/bin/hermitd-run task note .hermit <id> only inside an open record's turn (otherwise skip the note) (history fetch failed: <stderr first line>) and skip the Overnight: section entirely: no fallback wording in the brief. On success, read .hermit/raw/snapshot-ha-history-1d-latest.json.

3. Live house snapshot — Call GetLiveContext. Extract and organize:

   • Presence (who is home/away)
   • Lights still on (unexpected at morning time?)
   • Cover/blind positions
   • Climate: indoor temps, HVAC mode
   • Any devices unavailable or in error state
   • Security: alarm state (read-only)

4. Overnight highlights (only when 1d history artifact is present): read .hermit/raw/snapshot-ha-normalized-latest.json for silence_summary.silent_event_sensors, then surface 1–3 highlights for the Overnight: section using only honest signals:

   • Top-active entity between 00:00–06:00: scan entity_aggregates[*].hour_histogram[0:7] for the highest sum across all entities. If any non-trivial activity (sum > 0), emit one line — e.g., "light.kitchen — 12 state changes between 00:00 and 06:00".
   • Stuck event sensors: from silence_summary.silent_event_sensors, emit sensors still silent — e.g., "binary_sensor.motion_corridor — no events for 14 days".
   • HVAC duration: for each climate.* entity, read state_durations from the history artifact. If state_durations["heat"] or state_durations["cool"] ≥ 1800 seconds (30 min), emit one line — e.g., "climate.heat_pump — heated ~Xh overnight" where X is derived directly from state_durations. Never substitute event count for active hours.
