Use case overview
An integration starts Codex CLI tasks against a Home Assistant config to diagnose failing automations, check dashboards for broken cards and create scripts.
Reported experience
What they did
A Home Assistant add-on runs Codex CLI with read/write access to /config, and a custom integration (installable through HACS) exposes actions and entities. Tasks start from scripts, automations, or Assist and run non-interactively. Logs and results are saved under /config/codex_tasks. If Codex needs input, a reply action continues the task. Sign-in uses device-code auth through a persistent notification.
How it went
The author shows an Assist request that had Codex update a dashboard card, followed by a completion notification. The post gives no success rates or measurements. Users have asked for image upload and live progress, which are not yet available.
Worth knowing
Codex gets write access to your whole config folder, so review its changes. It signs in with a ChatGPT account (Plus or higher recommended) rather than API keys, so there are no per-token charges.
Example prompts
Open my Home Assistant config at [config path] and diagnose why [automation name] keeps failing, checking logs and entity names. Also scan [dashboard name] for broken cards that reference missing entities. Finish with a list of causes and proposed fixes, and show me the diffs before changing any file.
