HA NOVA Helper

Scope

ha-nova:helper has two helper families:

Storage-based family — full CRUD for:
- input_boolean, input_number, input_text, input_select, input_datetime, input_button, counter, timer, schedule
Config-entry family — CRUD support for 12 domains:
- utility_meter, derivative, integration, min_max, threshold, tod, statistics, group, history_stats, template, generic_thermostat, switch_as_x
- generic_thermostat / switch_as_x note: promoted without an observed field inventory — every field comes from the live form per skills/ha-nova/live-schema-preflight.md; a switch_as_x create hides the source switch entity behind the new one, and its target domain is create-only (changing it means delete + recreate) — say both in the preview
- group note: handled through the live menu-driven flow; end-to-end support is verified for the sensor subtype, and other subtypes must stay anchored to the live step schema instead of guessed fields
- template note: same menu-driven flow (17 entity types); end-to-end support is verified for the sensor subtype. The state field is a Jinja template — author it per skills/ha-nova/template-guidelines.md and apply the template-level reliability checks (missing float/int defaults, boolean-string comparisons) BEFORE submitting; a broken template renders the entity unavailable, so post-write verification must read the rendered state, not just entry existence

Not handled here:

other config-entry helper families:
- trend, random, filter, generic_hygrostat
local_todo list config entries (use ha-nova:todo)
automations/scripts config mutations (use ha-nova:write)

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

Write payloads with the client's native file-writing tool, then use:

ha-nova relay ws --data-file <payload-file>
ha-nova relay core --method <METHOD> --path <PATH> --body-file <payload-file>
ha-nova relay ... --out <result-file> for larger read/verify output
--jq-file <filter-file> for non-trivial filters; keep inline --jq for short selectors only

Family-specific transport:

Storage-based family: WS CRUD + WS list
Config-entry family: WS config_entries/get + WS entity-registry joins for list/read; relay /core config-entry flow, options-flow, and delete writes

Flow

Drafts follow skills/ha-nova/smallest-solution.md: the complete requested outcome in the simplest safe design — never an extra helper, option, or abstraction the request does not need.

Family 1: Storage-based helpers

Listing helpers

Use the compact entity registry (abbreviated keys: ei = entity_id, en = name, ai = area_id).

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> with:

[.data.entities[] | (.ei | split(".")[0]) as $domain | select(["input_boolean","input_number","input_text","input_select","input_datetime","input_button","counter","timer","schedule"] | index($domain)) | {entity_id: .ei, name: .en, area_id: .ai}]
| {total: length, shown: (.[0:30] | length), omitted: ([length - 30, 0] | max), truncated: (length > 30), matches: .[0:30]}

If user filters by type, narrow the domain filter to that single storage-based domain.

Keyword search

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

Write <filter-file> with:

[.data.entities[] | (.ei | split(".")[0]) as $domain | select(["input_boolean","input_number","input_text","input_select","input_datetime","input_button","counter","timer","schedule"] | index($domain)) | 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]}

If 0 results: try synonyms or shorter stems. Never dump entire domains. While truncated is true the list proves neither absence nor uniqueness — narrow further until it is false; the counts are exact, the cap trims display only.

Reading a single helper

Determine type from entity_id domain prefix.

Fetch full config via type-specific list:

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

Write <filter-file> with:

[.data[] | select(.name | test("KEYWORD";"i"))]

No single-item read endpoint — always {type}/list + filter.

Creating a helper

Validate intent against skills/ha-nova/helper-schemas.md for required/optional fields. Validate cross-field constraints pre-write too, instead of leaving them to the post-write review: input_number min < max; counter minimum < maximum; input_select initial must be in options; input_datetime needs has_date and/or has_time; timer duration in HH:MM:SS. Fix or ask before writing.
Use-case defaults (create only, skip on update/delete):
- Infer use-case from helper name + type using general HA knowledge.
- Consult skills/ha-nova/helper-schemas.md → Suggested Defaults for principles and field name reminders.
- If sensible defaults can be inferred: render them as the Suggestion Block (output-rules.md), max 4 as numbered list (value defaults fill the requested item; feature-style improvement offers follow skills/ha-nova/smallest-solution.md — max 2). Group related fields into one item.
```
💡 Suggested defaults for "{name}" ({type}):
1. min: 16, max: 30, step: 0.5
2. unit_of_measurement: "°C"
3. mode: slider
4. icon: mdi:thermometer
Accept all, pick by number (e.g. "1 and 3"), or "skip".
```
- User accepts all, picks by number, or says "skip".
- Accepted → merge into payload BEFORE preview.
- No useful defaults inferable → silently skip.
Preview the payload with the shared write-preview shape: compact summary, pre-write check when applicable, explicit not-saved-yet line, and Options block (apply, show yaml, cancel).
Ask for natural confirmation bound to this exact preview (see context skill → Active Preview Confirmation).
- for unobserved group or template subtypes, this first confirmation authorizes only the non-persisting menu-step submit, not the final subtype-specific payload

Execute:

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

Verify — list back and confirm new item exists.
No domain reload needed — immediate effect.
Run storage-family post-write review (see below).

Updating a helper

Resolve target from {type}/list by name or internal id.
Extract id from the list response (this is the {type}_id for the update command).
Validate the merged current+proposed fields against the same cross-field constraints as create (Creating step 1) — an update can break min/max, minimum/maximum, initial ∈ options, or datetime/timer constraints just as easily. Then preview current vs proposed in the Changes slot with ha-nova diff (see skills/ha-nova/write-safety.md → Pre-Write Diff) plus the behavior narrative (write-safety → Behavior narrative) — a count-only diff row never stands alone. Then run a pre-write impact check — search/related on this helper entity (max 3 related configs) — and surface affected automations/scripts as an advisory. Advisory only; never block. Include an explicit not-saved-yet line and Options block (apply, show yaml, cancel).
Ask for natural confirmation bound to this exact preview (see context skill → Active Preview Confirmation).
If the conversation paused since the preview, re-read the list item; a changed basis expires the confirmation (write-safety.md → Drift check before apply).

Execute:

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

Verify by re-reading the same list item.
Run storage-family post-write review (see below).
Update-Revert: after the verified update, capture the snapshot and offer revert — see skills/ha-nova/write-safety.md → Update-Revert. Storage-family restore rebuilds a schema-valid {type}/update from before_config (typed {type}_id from its id + writable fields only — never the raw list item, which lacks {type}_id and carries read-only id/entity_id); expected_after is the post-update read-back.

Deleting a helper

Resolve target from {type}/list; extract its id (the {type}_id used for the delete call — internal, not shown to the user).
Preview with stable localized slots (see skills/ha-nova/write-safety.md → Output hygiene — no raw internal id):
- name
- type
- entity_id
Confirmation code: confirm:<token> (strict: only the exact code accepted; see context skill → Safety Baseline).
Capture the auto config snapshot of the current list item first (skills/ha-nova/config-snapshots.md; on capture failure follow its capture-failure stop). Say in the result that a recreate from it mints a new entity_id.

Execute:

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

Verify absence from {type}/list.
Run storage-family post-write review (see below).

Family 2: Config-entry helpers

Canonical config-entry helper item:

entry_id
domain
title
state
linked_entities[]
supports_options

entry_id is the canonical identity for config-entry helper writes. If the user gives only a linked entity_id, resolve it back to config_entry_id through the full entity registry before continuing.

Config-entry flow orchestration follows the shared contract in skills/ha-nova/live-schema-preflight.md: live-form previews, non-persisting pre-confirmation navigation only, stop before the terminal submit, and nested result.entry_id extraction.

Supported domains

utility_meter
derivative
integration
min_max
threshold
tod
statistics
group
history_stats
template
generic_thermostat
switch_as_x

Listing helpers

Read all config entries:

ha-nova relay ws --data-file <payload-file> --out <entries-file>

with {"type":"config_entries/get"}.

Read full entity registry:
```
ha-nova relay ws --data-file <payload-file> --out <registry-file>
```
with {"type":"config/entity_registry/list"}.
Filter config entries to the twelve supported domains.
Join linked entities by matching config_entry_id.
Present the List Frame table (output-rules.md): title, domain, entry_id, state. Options-flow support and linked entities stay in the per-helper detail read; when several entries share a domain or similar titles, add a short disambiguation line under the table with each candidate's linked entities (compact comma-separated summary).

Keyword search

Search against:

config-entry title
domain
linked entity_id
linked original/display names when available

If multiple matches remain, present max 5 candidates and ask one blocking question.

Reading a single helper

Resolve by one of:
- entry_id
- config-entry title
- linked entity_id
- if multiple candidates remain after resolution, stop and ask one blocking question
- never guess between duplicate titles or ambiguous linked-entity matches 2

### Family 1: Storage-based helpers

#### Listing helpers

Use the compact entity registry (abbreviated keys: `ei` = entity_id, `en` = name, `ai` = area_id).

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>` with:

```jq
[.data.entities[] | (.ei | split(".")[0]) as $domain | select(["input_boolean","input_number","input_text","input_select","input_datetime","input_button","counter","timer","schedule"] | index($domain)) | {entity_id: .ei, name: .en, area_id: .ai}]
| {total: length, shown: (.[0:30] | length), omitted: ([length - 30, 0] | max), truncated: (length > 30), matches: .[0:30]}
```

If user filters by type, narrow the domain filter to that single storage-based domain.

#### Keyword search

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

Write `<filter-file>` with:
