## Natural Language Integration
### Example Commands
- "Turn on the living room lights"
- "Set bedroom temperature to 22 degrees"
- "Is the front door locked?"
### Smart Features
- Context awareness across conversations
- Natural parameter interpretation
- Intelligent error prevention
- Multi-device orchestration
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
1. **Node.js Version (`toSorted is not a function`)**
- **Solution:** Update to Node.js 20.10.0+
2. **Connection Issues**
- Verify Home Assistant is running
- Check `HASS_HOST` accessibility
- Validate token permissions
3. **Entity Control Issues**
- Verify `entity_id` exists
- Check entity domain matches command
- Ensure parameter values are valid
## Project Status
