Watches Home Assistant and speaks up only when a person must act
What this Grok bot does
For Home Assistant owners: catches dead devices, offline cameras, failed updates, and broken automations, and pings you only when a person has to act. Weekday morning report (only when something's wrong), live alerts from an HA automation it builds with you, and a weekly automation review. Asks before any change and never touches locks, alarms, or safety alerts. Setup: connect your HA (remote HTTPS address plus a long-lived token) through the connector card.
