Spook for Home Assistant (Marketplace integration)

Screenshots From the README of frenck/spook.

About

Spook is a custom integration that adds a broad set of extra tools, actions and repair checks to Home Assistant. It adds actions for editing groups made through the interface, waiting for a condition, and importing blueprints. Other actions cover automations, such as turning one off or on for a limited time, and lights, where changes apply only to lights that are already on. Calendar events can be deleted or updated, thermostat setpoints can be stepped up or down, and new areas can be created. It also raises repair notices for problems like unknown entities, missing dashboard resources and orphaned long-term statistics. It works locally, is set up in the UI, and ships an agent skill describing its features for AI agents.
