AI-driven framework for smart home automation

OpenAction

OpenAction is an AI-native action framework for the Agentic Home.

Move beyond rigid "If-This-Then-That" rules and tedious UI-based configurations. Powered by AI agent technology, OpenAction replaces traditional smart home solutions with flexible, adaptive logic. It help to translate natural language intent into dynamic, executable scripts — giving your smart home the ability to adapt, reason, and act.

Core Features

• ️Natural Language Automation: Define complex home behaviors via chat. No more wrestling with nested "If-Then" menus or YAML configurations.
• Stateful Intelligence: An integrated Store provides persistence, allowing scripts to save and retrieve data across multiple executions.
• Dynamic Scheduling: A built-in Cron service triggers AI-generated scripts based on time, sensor events, or external API data.
• Python Execution: The AI generates standard Python code, enabling complex calculations, loops, and sophisticated error handling.

Architecture & Workflow

The system acts as a bridge between high-level reasoning (Agents) and low-level hardware control. Here, the agent acts as a software developer who can introspect services and write custom, deterministic Python scripts to control the smart home devices. The workflow is as follows:

1. The Intent: The user describes a goal to an MCP-capable client (e.g., Claude Desktop): "If it’s dark outside and someone is home, turn on the living room light. If we’re away, simulate presence by randomly toggling lights, ending no later than 11 PM."
2. The Translation: The Agent uses the OpenAction MCP Server tools to inspect available devices and writes a custom Python script.
3. The Registration: OpenAction stores the script and sets up the necessary triggers (e.g., polling a weather API or listening for a sensor change).
4. The Execution: When triggered, the script runs in a local sandbox, calling the endpoints of connected Sensors & Actuators.
