in plain english

Aurora Smart Home is a plugin for Claude Code, the AI coding assistant, that helps you build and configure smart home projects with greater accuracy and safety. It solves a common problem with AI-generated hardware code: the AI might suggest a pin that is already reserved, or write an automation that references a sensor the firmware never actually creates. Aurora fixes this by checking every generated suggestion against verified reference data before producing any output. When you install the plugin and run the aurora command, it acts as an orchestrator that figures out what you want to build and routes your request to a named specialist agent. Volt handles ESPHome firmware for microcontrollers like the ESP32, Sage handles Home Assistant automations and dashboards, and Ada handles custom Python integrations ready for HACS, the community store for Home Assistant add-ons. Each specialist validates pins, I2C addresses, entity IDs, and other specifics against machine-readable board and component profiles before writing any configuration. The plugin itself contains no runtime dependencies. It is made up of markdown and JSON files that Claude reads directly, with Python and automated tests used only by the project maintainers to keep the reference data accurate. You would use Aurora if you are setting up your first home automation sensor and want to avoid wiring mistakes, if you have an existing Home Assistant setup and want your YAML configuration reviewed for errors with line-number-specific fixes, or if you are building a custom integration you plan to publish to others. It targets the Home Assistant and ESPHome ecosystem and is licensed under MIT.
