# List Devices Tool
The List Devices tool provides functionality to retrieve and manage device information from your Home Assistant instance.
## Features
- List all available Home Assistant devices
- Group devices by domain
- Get device states and attributes
- Filter devices by various criteria
## Usage
### REST API
```typescript
GET /api/devices
GET /api/devices/{domain}
GET /api/devices/{device_id}/state
```
### WebSocket
```typescript
// List all devices
{
"type": "list_devices",
"domain": "optional_domain"
}
// Get device state
{
"type": "get_device_state",
"device_id": "required_device_id"
}
```
### Examples
#### List All Devices
```typescript
const response = await fetch('http://your-ha-mcp/api/devices', {
headers: {
'Authorization': 'Bearer your_access_token'
}
});
const devices = await response.json();
```
#### Get Devices by Domain
```typescript
const response = await fetch('http://your-ha-mcp/api/devices/light', {
headers: {
'Authorization': 'Bearer your_access_token'
}
});
const lightDevices = await response.json();
```
## Response Format
### Device List Response
```json
{
"success": true,
"data": {
"devices": [
{
"id": "device_id",
"name": "Device Name",
"domain": "light",
"state": "on",
"attributes": {
"brightness": 255,
"color_temp": 370
}
}
]
}
}
```
### Device State Response
```json
{
"success": true,
"data": {
"state": "on",
"attributes": {
"brightness": 255,
"color_temp": 370
},
"last_changed": "2024-02-05T12:00:00Z",
"last_updated": "2024-02-05T12:00:00Z"
}
}
```
## Error Handling
### Common Error Codes
- `404`: Device not found
- `401`: Unauthorized
- `400`: Invalid request parameters
### Error Response Format
```json
{
"success": false,
"message": "Error description",
"error_code": "ERROR_CODE"
}
```
## Rate Limiting
- Default limit: 100 requests per 15 minutes
- Configurable through environment variables:
- `DEVICE_LIST_RATE_LIMIT`
- `DEVICE_LIST_RATE_WINDOW`
## Best Practices
1. Cache device lists when possible
2. Use domain filtering for better performance
3. Implement proper error handling
4. Handle rate limiting gracefully
