HomeClaw is a local-first AI assistant for Homey. If checking device states, creating schedules, and managing routine checks separately feels tedious, this app brings them into one flow. With natural-language commands in Telegram chat, you can control Homey devices, run scheduled jobs (cron), and perform HEARTBEAT checks in a single place. Use chat for everyday device actions, register recurring tasks as schedules, and keep operational checklists running periodically with HEARTBEAT.md.

What You Can Do

- Chat-based natural-language commands: request in Telegram chat and receive results in the same chat
- Device control: turn lights/switches on or off, check status
- Device info: inspect capabilities and current values
- Scheduling: delayed jobs, recurring jobs, list/remove jobs
- HEARTBEAT checks: periodic operational checks from HEARTBEAT.md
- Skill management: create user skills in chat, view/delete them in Settings
- Web search (optional): use fresh web context for weather/news questions

4. Send a test command in Telegram.
  - Example: Turn on the light.

5. Test a scheduled command.
  - Example: Turn off the light in 1 minute.
