The full story
The poster's Home Assistant instance was over three years old and cluttered. With Claude connected through an MCP server, it reviewed the logs and flagged issues by importance, removed stale entities and orphaned devices, helpers and scripts, consolidated duplicate automations, reorganised labels and made a phone version of their tablet dashboard.
They also had it read the release notes for a core update and summarise what affected their setup, then check system health afterwards for breaking changes. They say it has "absolutely blown me away".
