Is anyone using Openclaw and tried to use it to manage OpenHAB config? There’s a [small thread here](https://community.openhab.org/t/openclaw/168622) but not much other info. I’ve created a cli wrapper for the REST API that is useful for agents like OC to use, [it’s here](https://github.com/alackmann/openhab-rest-cli). I’ve gotten Openclaw configured now with an agent that has a checkout of my OpenHAB config, the OH docs and openhab-js docs. As it’s on the same network as my OH instance, I’ve given it a restricted login to SSH across to the server, pull the changes down via Git and watch the logs for issues. Seems to work nicely. I can now tell it issues or problems with rules OR new ideas and it’ll go and fix and PR for my review and/or apply directly. If there’s interest, I might blog about it and share the setup. Anyone else doing this? ---

Hi, I have been using my local language models with [LM Studio](https://lmstudio.ai) and activated the MCP connection described [here](https://community.openhab.org/t/openhab-mcp-server/164160). This works nicely - depending in the size and “intelligence” of the local LLM. Openclaw so far sits on an isolated computer as I did not yet dare to connect it to my production network. You might try to give your openClaw a connection via [MCP](https://community.openhab.org/t/openhab-mcp-server/164160) to open HAB which should boost its capabilities. Would be interested to learn more from your experiments. ---

Yeah am doing that too and it works well. The only real difference here is you can relatively safely make config changes in a pretty hands off manner. I’ve written [about it here](https://andre.lackmann.net/posts/projects/2026/04/giving-my-ai-the-keys-to-openhab/) and shared the skill I’m [using here](https://github.com/alackmann/openhab-config-manager-skill) in case others would like to try it out too. My Openclaw and Openhab run on different VMs, so there’s some mucking about creating a restricted user on your openhab server, but after that it’s pretty neat being able to adjust your openhab configs from a telegram chat (while knowing you can easily roll it back if it goes pear shaped). ---
