Quick Start Guide 🚀
First Steps
1. Verify Connection
# Check server health
+curl http://localhost:3000/health
+
+# Verify Home Assistant connection
+curl http://localhost:3000/api/state
+2. Basic Voice Commands
# Example using curl for testing
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/command \
+ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+ -d '{"command": "Turn on the living room lights"}'
+Real-World Examples
1. Smart Lighting Control
// Browser example using fetch
+const response = await fetch('http://localhost:3000/api/command', {
+ method: 'POST',
+ headers: {
+ 'Content-Type': 'application/json',
+ },
+ body: JSON.stringify({
+ command: 'Set living room lights to 50% brightness and warm white color'
+ })
+});
+2. Real-Time Updates
const eventSource = new EventSource('http://localhost:3000/subscribe_events?token=YOUR_TOKEN&domain=light');
+
+eventSource.onmessage = (event) => {
+ const data = JSON.parse(event.data);
+ console.log('Device state changed:', data);
+ // Update your UI here
+};
+3. Scene Automation
// Create a "Movie Night" scene
+const createScene = async () => {
+ await fetch('http://localhost:3000/api/scene', {
+ method: 'POST',
+ headers: {
+ 'Content-Type': 'application/json',
+ },
+ body: JSON.stringify({
+ name: 'Movie Night',
+ actions: [
+ { device: 'living_room_lights', action: 'dim', value: 20 },
+ { device: 'tv', action: 'on' },
+ { device: 'soundbar', action: 'on' }
+ ]
+ })
+ });
+};
+
+// Trigger the scene with voice command:
+// "Hey MCP, activate movie night scene"
+Integration Examples
1. Web Dashboard Integration
// React component example
+function SmartHomeControl() {
+ const [devices, setDevices] = useState([]);
+
+ useEffect(() => {
+ // Subscribe to device updates
+ const events = new EventSource('http://localhost:3000/subscribe_events');
+ events.onmessage = (event) => {
+ const data = JSON.parse(event.data);
+ setDevices(currentDevices =>
+ currentDevices.map(device =>
+ device.id === data.id ? {...device, ...data} : device
+ )
+ );
+ };
+
+ return () => events.close();
+ }, []);
+
+ return (
+ <div className="dashboard">
+ {devices.map(device => (
+ <DeviceCard key={device.id} device={device} />
+ ))}
+ </div>
+ );
+}
+2. Voice Assistant Integration
// Example using speech-to-text with MCP
+async function handleVoiceCommand(audioBlob: Blob) {
+ // First, convert speech to text
+ const text = await speechToText(audioBlob);
+
+ // Then send command to MCP
+ const response = await fetch('http://localhost:3000/api/command', {
+ method: 'POST',
+ headers: {
+ 'Content-Type': 'application/json',
+ },
+ body: JSON.stringify({ command: text })
+ });
+
+ return response.json();
+}
+Best Practices
try {
+ const response = await fetch('http://localhost:3000/api/command', {
+ method: 'POST',
+ headers: {
+ 'Content-Type': 'application/json',
+ },
+ body: JSON.stringify({ command: 'Turn on lights' })
+ });
+
+ if (!response.ok) {
+ throw new Error(`HTTP error! status: ${response.status}`);
+ }
+
+ const data = await response.json();
+} catch (error) {
+ console.error('Error:', error);
+ // Handle error appropriately
+}
+class MCPConnection {
+ constructor() {
+ this.eventSource = null;
+ this.reconnectAttempts = 0;
+ }
+
+ connect() {
+ this.eventSource = new EventSource('http://localhost:3000/subscribe_events');
+ this.eventSource.onerror = this.handleError.bind(this);
+ }
+
+ handleError() {
+ if (this.reconnectAttempts < 3) {
+ setTimeout(() => {
+ this.reconnectAttempts++;
+ this.connect();
+ }, 1000 * this.reconnectAttempts);
+ }
+ }

Expected response:
{
+ "status": "healthy",
+ "version": "1.0.0",
+ "uptime": 3600,
+ "homeAssistant": {
+ "connected": true,
+ "version": "2024.1.0"
+ }
+}
+Symptoms: - Server not responding - Connection refused errors - Timeout errors
Solutions:
Check if the server is running:
Verify port availability:
Check logs:
Symptoms: - "Connection Error" in health check - Cannot control devices - State updates not working
Solutions:
Verify Home Assistant URL and token in .env:
Test Home Assistant connection:
Check network connectivity:
Symptoms: - 401 Unauthorized responses - "Invalid token" errors

Verify token format:
Symptoms: - 429 Too Many Requests - "Rate limit exceeded" errors
Solutions:
Check current rate limit status:
Adjust rate limits in configuration:
Symptoms: - Frequent disconnections - Missing state updates - EventSource errors
Solutions:
Implement proper reconnection logic:
class SSEClient {
+ constructor() {
+ this.connect();
+ }
+
+ connect() {
+ this.eventSource = new EventSource('/subscribe_events');
+ this.eventSource.onerror = this.handleError.bind(this);
+ }
+
+ handleError(error) {
+ console.error('SSE Error:', error);
+ this.eventSource.close();
+ setTimeout(() => this.connect(), 1000);
+ }
+}
+Check network stability:
Symptoms: - Slow response times - Command execution delays - UI lag
Solutions:
