MCP Prompts Reference#

The MCP service provides three specialized prompts:

1. device_control#

Purpose: Device control assistant focused on controlling lights, switches, curtains, etc.

When to use: When user wants to control specific device types (turn on/off lights, switches)

2. scene_trigger#

Purpose: Scene control assistant for managing preset automation scenes

When to use: When user wants to execute scenes like "Coming Home", "Sleep Mode"

3. smart_home_assistant#

Purpose: Full-featured smart home assistant

When to use: When user needs comprehensive home automation (query + control + scenes)

Common Use Cases#

Example 1: Morning Routine#

python

client = MxchipMCPClient()

# Turn on bedroom light
client.control_device("bedroom_light", "TurnOnRequest")

# Set AC to comfortable temperature
client.control_air_conditioner("bedroom_ac", "SetTemperatureRequest", temperature=24)

# Open curtains (if supported)
client.control_device("curtain_001", "TurnOnRequest")

Example 2: Leaving Home#

python

# Trigger "Leaving Home" scene
client.trigger_scene("sceneid_leaving_home")

# Or manually turn off devices
client.control_device("living_room_light", "TurnOffRequest")
client.control_device("bedroom_ac", "TurnOffRequest")

Example 3: Check All Devices#

python

result = client.list_home_devices_and_scenes()

for device in result.get('devices', []):
    status = device.get('status', 'Unknown')
    print(f"{device['name']}: {status}")

Error Handling#

python

from mxchip_mcp_client import (
    MxchipMCPClient,
    AuthenticationError,
    InvalidParameterError,
    MxchipMCPError
)

try:
    client = MxchipMCPClient()
    client.control_device("device_001", "TurnOnRequest")
except AuthenticationError as e:
    print(f"Auth failed: {e}")
    # Regenerate token
except InvalidParameterError as e:
    print(f"Invalid parameter: {e}")
    # Check parameters
except MxchipMCPError as e:
    print(f"MCP error: {e}")
    # Handle other errors

Troubleshooting#

Authentication Errors:

• Verify MXCHIP_OAUTH_TOKEN is set correctly
• Token should start with oauth2_
• Regenerate token at OAuth page if expired

Device Not Found:

• Always call list_home_devices_and_scenes() first
• Use exact device_id from the response
• For AC control, ensure device category is AIR_CONDITION

Invalid Parameters:

• Temperature range: 16-32°C
• Valid modes: COOL, HEAT, AUTO, FAN, DEHUMIDIFICATION, SLEEP
• Scene ID format: sceneid_xxx

Security Notes#

• OAuth token provides access to your smart home devices
• Keep token secure and never commit to version control
• Token has expiration time - regenerate when needed
• Use environment variables for token storage
