HA House Status

Steps

1. Call `GetDateTime` for current time and date. 2. Call `GetLiveContext` for the live house snapshot. 3. Use the session language for all output. 4. Check `.hermit/raw/snapshot-ha-normalized-latest.json` modification time. If older than 24 hours or missing, append a warning to the status output: > "Context snapshot is stale — run `/hermitd-homeassistant:ha-refresh-context` for accurate entity data." 5. Present a human-readable summary in the session language, organized by:

• **Presence**: who is home / away
• **Lights**: which are on
• **Covers/Blinds**: positions
• **Climate**: temperatures, HVAC state
• **Media**: what's playing
• **Security**: alarm state (read-only, never actuate)
• **Notable**: anything unusual (devices unavailable, unexpected states)

Format

Keep the summary concise. Use bullet points. Group by area if the house has distinct areas. Highlight anything that looks unusual or worth investigating.
