organize

name: organize description: Use when organizing Home Assistant areas, floors, labels, categories, and entity/device metadata through HA NOVA Relay.

HA NOVA Organize

Scope

Organization and registry metadata only:

• areas: list/create/update/delete
• floors: list/create/update/delete
• labels: list/create/update/delete
• categories: list/create/update/delete
• entity metadata updates: rename, move to area, assign/clear/add/remove labels, assign/remove categories, disable, hide, aliases
• entity category assignment/removal per scope
• device metadata updates: rename, move to area, assign/clear/add/remove labels, disable

Not in scope:

• entity removal
• removing config entries from devices
• device category assignment
• zones, persons, tags
• energy or calendar management

For those surfaces, hand off to ha-nova:fallback.

Relay Contract

Use file-based WS requests only:

• ha-nova relay ws --data-file <payload-file>
• ha-nova relay ws --data-file <payload-file> --out <result-file>

Registry commands owned here:

• config/area_registry/list|create|update|delete
• config/floor_registry/list|create|update|delete
• config/label_registry/list|create|update|delete
• config/category_registry/list|create|update|delete
• config/entity_registry/get|list|update
• config/device_registry/list|update

Use search/related when a delete needs a quick impact preview on linked items.

Flow

1. Resolve the exact target type and identity.
   • areas/floors/labels/categories: use the corresponding list
   • every category registry call must include the exact scope
   • do not call config/category_registry/list|create|update|delete without scope
   • entities: prefer config/entity_registry/get when the entity_id is known
   • devices: use config/device_registry/list and match by current name or linked entities
2. If multiple candidates remain, ask one blocking question.
3. For create/update:
   • build the smallest valid payload
   • preview the exact fields that will change
   • rich metadata owned here:
     • area: name, floor_id, icon, picture, aliases
     • floor: name, level, icon, aliases
     • label: name, color, icon, description
     • category: name, icon, exact scope
   • category assignment/removal is entity-only in this skill and uses one scope per request
   • category assignment uses categories: {"<scope>":"<category_id>"}
   • category removal for one scope uses categories: {"<scope>": null}
   • do not send categories: {} when the goal is to clear one existing scoped category
   • label updates on entities/devices may be:
     • replace all labels
     • add labels
     • remove labels
     • clear labels
4. For delete:
   • preview impact first
   • areas/floors: show linked areas or assignments that will lose placement
   • labels: show linked items when quickly resolvable
   • categories: show affected entity count and a small example set when resolvable
   • require token confirmation confirm:<token>
5. Execute exactly one mutation.
6. Read back and verify the requested fields:
   • area/floor/label/category: re-list and match by canonical id
   • entity/device: re-read the updated registry entry
   • category delete: also verify affected entity categories are cleared for that scope
7. Report the final state in plain language.

Entity / Device Update Fields

Use only exposed metadata fields:

• entity: name, new_entity_id, area_id, labels, categories, disabled_by, hidden_by, aliases
• device: name_by_user, area_id, labels, disabled_by

Do not guess unsupported fields.

Output Format

• Target
• Current metadata
• Requested change
• Impact for deletes
• Verification
• Next step

Default to a compact field summary, not raw registry JSON.

Safety

• Never guess ids.
• Create/update uses natural confirmation after preview.
• Delete uses token confirmation only.
• If the user asks for entity removal, device category assignment, or config-entry detachment, stop and hand off to ha-nova:fallback.

Guardrails

• One resource at a time.
• One category scope at a time.
• Metadata updates only; no destructive registry admin beyond area/floor/label/category delete.
• Verify the changed field values, not just the WS success response.
• If a delete impact preview is incomplete, say so explicitly before asking for confirmation.
