You talk to HomiAgent through Telegram. To let the bot know who you are and which home to control, link your Telegram account with a temporary code from the dashboard.
1

Get a link code

In the HomiAgent dashboard, open Telegram and click Link account. Copy the message shown. It looks like /connect ABC123.
2

Message the bot

In Telegram, open @homiagent_bot and send it the message you copied.
3

Confirm

The bot confirms the link. Refresh the dashboard and your account appears under Linked accounts.
Link codes expire after 10 minutes. If the bot says the code is invalid or expired, generate a new one.
The bot only works in a private chat. Messages in groups are ignored, and a group can’t be linked.
Each person in your household can link their own Telegram account. Repeat the steps above and generate a new code for each person. Every linked account talks to the same HomiAgent account, so they all control the homes connected to it.

​
Bot commands

Before you link, the bot only offers /connect. Once linked, the / menu in the chat shows: There are two ways:
  • From the bot: send /disconnect and answer Yes to the confirmation.
  • From the dashboard: under Telegram → Linked accounts, click Unlink next to the account.
After unlinking, the bot stops answering that chat and only offers /connect again. You can link it again whenever you want.

​
Switching HomiAgent accounts

If you link a chat that is already linked to a different HomiAgent account, the old link is removed and the chat moves to the account that generated the new code.

Next: add credits

The assistant only answers when your account has credits.
