HA NOVA Entity Discovery

Scope

Use for:

listing entities by domain
searching entities by user phrase
bulk inventory by prefix, domain, area, or label
resolving likely targets before writes

Read-only behavior.

No POST, PUT, PATCH, or DELETE relay writes.
If the user moves from discovery to mutation, stop after resolution and hand off to the write-capable skill.

Bootstrap (once per session)

Read and follow ../ha-nova/session-bootstrap.md. Verify relay CLI: ha-nova relay health If this fails: ha-nova setup

Relay Contract

Use file-based relay requests by default:

ha-nova relay ws --data-file <payload-file>
ha-nova relay core --method <METHOD> --path <PATH> --body-file <payload-file> when a body is needed
--jq-file <filter-file> for non-trivial filters; keep inline --jq for short selectors only
--out <result-file> for large reads
On Windows PowerShell, never chain commands with && or ||; run separate shell commands instead.
Never call external jq; use relay-native filters or ha-nova relay jq --file <result-file> ....

Flow

Step 1: Search entity registry

Entity registry uses compact abbreviated keys: ei=entity_id, en=name, ai=area_id.

Search both entity_id and name. Use short keyword stems to handle spelling variants. Cap display at 20 rows through the canonical envelope below — never a bare slice.

For bulk selectors, follow skills/ha-nova/bulk-patterns.md.

prefix: case-insensitive prefix match on the entity_id suffix and display name
domain: exact domain filter
area: resolve the area, then use search/related as the primary shortlist source; use ai only as optional extra evidence when present
label: escalate to the full registry only when label evidence is required; config/entity_registry/list returns the entity array directly in .data
helper + area: not a first-class bulk selector contract; do not imply room-owned helper discovery unless live helper-area semantics are explicitly defined

For domain counts or domain shortlists:

count only the requested domain unless the user explicitly asks for heuristics or related domains
use --jq-file <filter-file> for the count filter
if you need a follow-up count from a saved file, use ha-nova relay jq --file <result-file> length

Create <payload-file> with {"type":"config/entity_registry/list_for_display"}, then run:

ha-nova relay ws --data-file <payload-file> --jq-file <filter-file>

Write <filter-file> by copying the canonical skills/ha-nova/discovery-filter.jq and replacing KEYWORD with the pattern; if the canonical file is unavailable (flat-copy installs), recreate it with exactly:

[.data.entities[] | select((.ei + " " + (.en // "")) | test("KEYWORD";"i")) | {entity_id: .ei, name: .en, area_id: .ai}]
| {total: length, shown: (.[0:20] | length), omitted: ([length - 20, 0] | max), truncated: (length > 20), matches: .[0:20]}

It returns {total, shown, omitted, truncated, matches} — the 20-row cap applies to matches only; the counts are exact.

This generic test("KEYWORD";"i") filter is for free-text search, not explicit prefix matching. For an explicit prefix selector, match the suffix and display name with startswith(...), not loose substring search.

If the compact search does not resolve a suitable target — no results, or only matches the user rejects or that plainly are not what they meant — escalate ONCE to the full registry (config/entity_registry/list) and match against aliases[] too — list_for_display does not carry them, and an alias is exactly where a household keeps the name it actually says (a household's own word for light.floor_lamp_living). Only then try synonyms, alternative terms, or shorter keyword stems. Use OR for multiple variants: test("kw1|kw2|kw3";"i"). When a resolved entity had no matching alias and the user's word was clearly their habitual name, offer once to store it as an alias via ha-nova:organize. Diacritics: test(...;"i") folds case, not accents — a name with é/ü/ö does not match its plain-ASCII spelling. Whenever the keyword or likely entity names carry accents or umlauts (common in non-English homes), put the transliterated variants into the OR-pattern: test("café|cafe";"i"), and for umlauts include both the ue/oe/ae and bare-vowel forms. If too many: narrow with AND: test("kw1";"i") and test("kw2";"i"). Fail closed on truncation: while truncated is true the result proves neither absence nor uniqueness — the target may sit past the cap. Narrow automatically (area, domain, exact identifier, aliases, extra AND terms) until truncated is false before concluding either; report total/shown/omitted with the rows. Never dump entire domains without a user-intent keyword, and never show an unfiltered full-registry dump.

When the task is multi-target inventory:

save the shortlist with --out <result-file>
do not trim to 20 inside the initial selector filter
dedupe first, then sort deterministically, then compute the exact matched count, then apply the 20-row display cap
keep ordering deterministic: domain, then entity_id
return the exact matched count separately from the displayed rows

Step 2: Get state or config

# State
ha-nova relay core --method GET --path /api/states/{entity_id}

# Automation/script config — always resolve unique_id first (see relay-api.md → ID Types)
ha-nova relay ws --data-file <payload-file> --out <registry-file>
ha-nova relay jq -r --file <registry-file> '.data.unique_id'
ha-nova relay core --method GET --path /api/config/automation/config/{unique_id} --jq-file <filter-file> --out <result-file>
# For scripts: use script.{slug} and /api/config/script/config/{unique_id}

For <filter-file>, prefer copying skills/ha-nova/config-body-filter.jq; if the canonical file is unavailable (flat-copy installs), recreate it with exactly:

if .ok then .data.body else error("relay error: \(.error.message // "unknown")") end

Automations rarely have reliable direct area_id data in the compact registry. When user asks "automations for X in room Y":

Resolve room name to area_id: ha-nova relay ws --data-file <payload-file> then filter by name with --jq
Query the area directly: {"type":"search/related","item_type":"area","item_id":"<area_id>"}
Treat the response as a keyed object, not an array:
- automation discovery uses .data.automation
- script discovery uses .data.script
- entity discovery uses .data.entity
If automation/script keys are absent and only area entities are present, use search/related on those entities to derive the automation/script shortlist:
```
ha-nova relay ws --data-file <payload-file>
```

This is more reliable than keyword search or assuming .ai is populated for room-based queries.

Step 4: Return shortlist

entity_id, friendly_name, state (if fetched), short relevance reason
for bulk inventory: filter used, matched count, displayed rows
do not fetch full YAML for every matched item in one response

IMPORTANT: Never dump raw get_states — it returns thousands of entities with full attributes.

Device-sibling capability discovery

A capability-oriented request (restart, identify, calibrate, reset, siren, ...) on a resolved entity or device, where the capability is not on the resolved entity itself, is answered by the device's OTHER entities — not by "the entity cannot do that":

Resolve the physical device: for an entity target, read its registry row (WS config/entity_registry/get) and take its device_id; a target already resolved AS a device (a device-registry row or config-entry device) supplies its device_id directly — no entity row is required to proceed.
List ALL registry entities of that device from the FULL registry (config/entity_registry/list, filter by device_id) — list_for_display omits disabled entities, and the registry row's disabled_by decides enabled/disabled status. NEVER validate a disabled candidate through /api/states: it has no state there, and its absence proves nothing about the capability. The 20-row display envelope does NOT apply here — a device's own entity list is complete and bounded by nature; capping it could hide the one capability past the cap.
Select by domain, device_class, translation_key, and entity_id semantics on the SAME device. An entity on another device never qualifies merely because its name matches.
Prefer an enabled exact match. Multiple plausible candidates → ONE bounded clarification listing each candidate's entity ID, domain, device, and enabled/disabled status.
Report a disabled candidate as available-but-disabled WITH its disabled_by source and offer the matching enable flow via ha-nova:organize (a "device"-disabled sibling needs its parent DEVICE re-enabled, not the entity alone; integration/config_entry-disabled items are not enableable from any skill — the HA UI owns those). Never enable anything automatically, and never press or execute from discovery — hand off to the owning skill.

This contract is generic — never hard-coded to a brand, to cameras, or to restart buttons.

State Snapshot Queries

"is everything closed?", "who is home?", "what is running right now?" — these ask about STATE across many entities, not about finding one. They are reads and belong here; ha-nova:health answers what is broken, not what is on.

One call answers them: ha-nova relay core --method GET --path /api/states --out <result-file>, then filter by domain plus device_class and state:

[.data.body[]
 | select(.attributes.device_class == "window" and .state == "on")
 | {e: .entity_id, n: .attributes.friendly_name}]

Three answers, not two: yes / no / could not tell. An entity that is unknown or unavailable, and one that is readable but does not report the thing being asked, both go in the third bucket and get named. "Everything is closed" with three sensors offline is the reassurance nobody should get — "none open, 3 could not be read" is the honest form.

Skip group helpers when counting: a Light Group is a real light.* entity beside its members, so it double-counts. They carry an entity_id LIST in their attributes — skip any entity whose attributes.entity_id is an array. (switch_as_x mirrors double-count too and carry no such marker; say so if the count looks high.)

open windows/doors — binary_sensor with device_class window/door/garage_door/opening (the generic contact class) in state on, AND cover.* in open/opening/closing (mid-close is still open) with the COVER classes, which are named differently: garage — not the binary sensor's garage_door — plus door, window, gate. A motorized window is a cover, not a binary_sensor, so checking one family answers the question wrong. A cover in those states whose device_class is absent or outside that list is not evidence of closed: report it as "N open, class unknown". Do NOT do the same for unclassed binary sensors — one is indistinguishable from a motion sensor and would manufacture false alarms.
who is home — person.* in state home. Anything else that is not unknown/unavailable is away, including a named zone like work: those are zone names, not errors. unknown means no tracker had usable data — third bucket, because "nobody

## Flow

### Step 1: Search entity registry

Entity registry uses compact abbreviated keys: `ei`=entity_id, `en`=name, `ai`=area_id.

Search both entity_id and name. Use short keyword stems to handle spelling variants. Cap display at 20 rows through the canonical envelope below — never a bare slice.

For bulk selectors, follow `skills/ha-nova/bulk-patterns.md`.
- `prefix`: case-insensitive prefix match on the entity_id suffix and display name
- `domain`: exact domain filter
- `area`: resolve the area, then use `search/related` as the primary shortlist source; use `ai` only as optional extra evidence when present
- `label`: escalate to the full registry only when label evidence is required; `config/entity_registry/list` returns the entity array directly in `.data`
- `helper` + `area`: not a first-class bulk selector contract; do not imply room-owned helper discovery unless live helper-area semantics are explicitly defined

For domain counts or domain shortlists:
- count only the requested domain unless the user explicitly asks for heuristics or related domains
- use `--jq-file <filter-file>` for the count filter
- if you need a follow-up count from a saved file, use `ha-nova relay jq --file <result-file> length`

Create `<payload-file>` with `{"type":"config/entity_registry/list_for_display"}`, then run:

```text
ha-nova relay ws --data-file <payload-file> --jq-file <filter-file>
```

Write `<filter-file>` by copying the canonical `skills/ha-nova/discovery-filter.jq`
and replacing `KEYWORD` with the pattern; if the canonical file is unavailable
(flat-copy installs), recreate it with exactly:

```jq
[.data.entities[] | select((.ei + " " + (.en // "")) | test("KEYWORD";"i")) | {entity_id: .ei, name: .en, area_id: .ai}]
| {total: length, shown: (.[0:20] | length), omitted: ([length - 20, 0] | max), truncated: (length > 20), matches: .[0:20]}
```

It returns `{total, shown, omitted, truncated, matches}` — the 20-row cap
applies to `matches` only; the counts are exact.

This generic `test("KEYWORD";"i")` filter is for free-text search, not explicit `prefix` matching.
For an explicit prefix selector, match the suffix and display name with `startswith(...)`, not loose substring search.

**If the compact search does not resolve a suitable target** — no results, or only matches the user rejects or that plainly are not what they meant — escalate ONCE to the full registry (`config/entity_registry/list`) and match against `aliases[]` too — `list_for_display` does not carry them, and an alias is exactly where a household keeps the name it actually says (a household's own word for `light.floor_lamp_living`). Only then try synonyms, alternative terms, or shorter keyword stems. Use OR for multiple variants: `test("kw1|kw2|kw3";"i")`. When a resolved entity had no matching alias and the user's word was clearly their habitual name, offer once to store it as an alias via `ha-nova:organize`.
**Diacritics:** `test(...;"i")` folds case, not accents — a name with `é`/`ü`/`ö` does not match its plain-ASCII spelling. Whenever the keyword or likely entity names carry accents or umlauts (common in non-English homes), put the transliterated variants into the OR-pattern: `test("café|cafe";"i")`, and for umlauts include both the `ue`/`oe`/`ae` and bare-vowel forms.
**If too many:** narrow with AND: `test("kw1";"i") and test("kw2";"i")`.
**Fail closed on truncation:** while `truncated` is true the result proves neither absence nor uniqueness — the target may sit past the cap. Narrow automatically (area, domain, exact identifier, aliases, extra AND terms) until `truncated` is false before concluding either; report `total`/`shown`/`omitted` with the rows.
**Never** dump entire domains without a user-intent keyword, and never show an unfiltered full-registry dump.

When the task is multi-target inventory:
- save the shortlist with `--out <result-file>`
- do not trim to 20 inside the initial selector filter
- dedupe first, then sort deterministically, then compute the exact matched count, then apply the 20-row display cap
- keep ordering deterministic: domain, then entity_id
- return the exact matched count separately from the displayed rows

### Step 2: Get state or config

```text
# State
ha-nova relay core --method GET --path /api/states/{entity_id}

# Automation/script config — always resolve unique_id first (see relay-api.md → ID Types)
ha-nova relay ws --data-file <payload-file> --out <registry-file>
ha-nova relay jq -r --file <registry-file> '.data.unique_id'
ha-nova relay core --method GET --path /api/config/automation/config/{unique_id} --jq-file <filter-file> --out <result-file>
# For scripts: use script.{slug} and /api/config/script/config/{unique_id}
```

For `<filter-file>`, prefer copying `skills/ha-nova/config-body-filter.jq`; if the canonical file is unavailable (flat-copy installs), recreate it with exactly:

```jq
if .ok then .data.body else error("relay error: \(.error.message // "unknown")") end
```

### Step 3: Find automations related to a device or area

Automations rarely have reliable direct `area_id` data in the compact registry. When user asks "automations for X in room Y":

1. Resolve room name to area_id:
   `ha-nova relay ws --data-file <payload-file>` then filter by name with `--jq`
2. Query the area directly:
   `{"type":"search/related","item_type":"area","item_id":"<area_id>"}`
3. Treat the response as a keyed object, not an array:
   - automation discovery uses `.data.automation`
   - script discovery uses `.data.script`
   - entity discovery uses `.data.entity`
4. If automation/script keys are absent and only area entities are present, use `search/related` on those entities to derive the automation/script shortlist:
   ```text
   ha-nova relay ws --data-file <payload-file>
   ```

This is more reliable than keyword search or assuming `.ai` is populated for room-based queries.

### Step 4: Return shortlist

- `entity_id`, `friendly_name`, `state` (if fetched), short relevance reason
- for bulk inventory: filter used, matched count, displayed rows
- do not fetch full YAML for every matched item in one response

**IMPORTANT:** Never dump raw `get_states` — it returns thousands of entities with full attributes.

### Device-sibling capability discovery

A capability-oriented request (restart, identify, calibrate, reset, siren, ...) on a resolved entity or device, where the capability is not on the resolved entity itself, is answered by the device's OTHER entities — not by "the entity cannot do that":

1. Resolve the physical device: for an entity target, read its registry row (WS `config/entity_registry/get`) and take its `device_id`; a target already resolved AS a device (a device-registry row or config-entry device) supplies its `device_id` directly — no entity row is required to proceed.
2. List ALL registry entities of that device from the FULL registry (`config/entity_registry/list`, filter by `device_id`) — `list_for_display` omits disabled entities, and the registry row's `disabled_by` decides enabled/disabled status. NEVER validate a disabled candidate through `/api/states`: it has no state there, and its absence proves nothing about the capability. The 20-row display envelope does NOT apply here — a device's own entity list is complete and bounded by nature; capping it could hide the one capability past the cap.
3. Select by domain, `device_class`, `translation_key`, and entity_id semantics on the SAME device. An entity on another device never qualifies merely because its name matches.
4. Prefer an enabled exact match. Multiple plausible candidates → ONE bounded clarification listing each candidate's entity ID, domain, device, and enabled/disabled status.
5. Report a disabled candidate as available-but-disabled WITH its `disabled_by` source and offer the matching enable flow via `ha-nova:organize` (a `"device"`-disabled sibling needs its parent DEVICE re-enabled, not the entity alone; integration/config_entry-disabled items are not enableable from any skill — the HA UI owns those). Never enable anything automatically, and never press or execute from discovery — hand off to the owning skill.

This contract is generic — never hard-coded to a brand, to cameras, or to restart buttons.

## State Snapshot Queries

"is everything closed?", "who is home?", "what is running right now?" — these ask
about STATE across many entities, not about finding one. They are reads and
belong here; `ha-nova:health` answers what is broken, not what is on.

One call answers them: `ha-nova relay core --method GET --path /api/states --out <result-file>`,
then filter by domain plus `device_class` and state:

```jq
[.data.body[]
 | select(.attributes.device_class == "window" and .state == "on")
 | {e: .entity_id, n: .attributes.friendly_name}]
```

Three answers, not two: **yes / no / could not tell**. An entity that is
`unknown` or `unavailable`, and one that is readable but does not report the
thing being asked, both go in the third bucket and get named. "Everything is
closed" with three sensors offline is the reassurance nobody should get —
"none open, 3 could not be read" is the honest form.

Skip group helpers when counting: a Light Group is a real `light.*` entity
beside its members, so it double-counts. They carry an `entity_id` LIST in
their attributes — skip any entity whose `attributes.entity_id` is an array.
(`switch_as_x` mirrors double-count too and carry no such marker; say so if
the count looks high.)

- **open windows/doors** — `binary_sensor` with `device_class`
  `window`/`door`/`garage_door`/`opening` (the generic contact class) in state
  `on`, AND `cover.*` in `open`/`opening`/`closing` (mid-close is still open)
  with the COVER classes, which are named differently: `garage` — not the
  binary sensor's `garage_door` — plus `door`, `window`, `gate`. A motorized
  window is a cover, not a binary_sensor, so checking one family answers the
  question wrong. A cover in those states whose `device_class` is absent or
  outside that list is not evidence of closed: report it as "N open, class
  unknown". Do NOT do the same for unclassed binary sensors — one is
  indistinguishable from a motion sensor and would manufacture false alarms.
- **who is home** — `person.*` in state `home`. Anything else that is not
  `unknown`/`unavailable` is away, including a named zone like `work`: those
  are zone names, not errors. `unknown` means no tracker had usable data —
  third bucket, because "nobody
