The Anthropic {% term integrations %} adds a conversation agent powered by Anthropic, such as Claude 3.5 Sonnet, in Home Assistant.

Controlling Home Assistant is done by providing the AI access to the Assist API of Home Assistant. You can control what devices and entities it can access from the {% my voice_assistants title="exposed entities page" %}. The AI can provide you information about your devices and control them.

Legal note: Individuals and hobbyists are welcome to use the Anthropic API for personal use, however, please note that the use of the API is subject to their Commercial Terms of Service, regardless of whether you are an individual or representing a company.

This integration does not integrate with sentence triggers.

Prerequisites

Generating an API Key

The Anthropic API key is used to authenticate requests to the Anthropic API. To generate an API key, take the following steps:

  1. Log in to the Anthropic portal or sign up for an account.
  2. Enable billing with a valid credit card on the plans page.
  3. Visit the API Keys page to retrieve the API key you'll use to configure the integration.

{% configuration_basic %} Instructions: description: Instructions for the AI on how it should respond to your requests. It is written using Home Assistant Templating. Control Home Assistant: description: If the model is allowed to interact with Home Assistant. It can only control or provide information about entities that are exposed to it. Recommended settings: description: If enabled, the recommended model and settings are chosen. {% endconfiguration_basic %}

If you choose not to use the recommended settings, you can configure the following options:

{% configuration_basic %} Model: description: The model that will complete your prompt. See models for additional details and options. Maximum Tokens to Return in Response: description: The maximum number of tokens to generate before stopping. Note that our models may stop before reaching this maximum. This parameter only specifies the absolute maximum number of tokens to generate. Different models have different maximum values for this parameter. See models for details. Temperature: description: Amount of randomness injected into the response. Use temperature closer to 0.0 for analytical / multiple choice, and closer to 1.0 for creative and generative tasks. Note that even with temperature of 0.0, the results will not be fully deterministic. This parameter is ignored if extended thinking is enabled (see below). Thinking budget: description: For models with extending thinking support, such as Claude 3.7 Sonnet, this parameter determines the maximum number of tokens Claude is allowed use for its internal reasoning process. Larger budgets can improve response quality by enabling more thorough analysis for complex problems, although Claude may not use the entire budget allocated, especially at ranges above 32K. Anthropic suggests starting at the minimum and increasing the thinking budget incrementally to find the optimal range for Claude to perform well for your use case. Higher token counts may allow you to achieve more comprehensive and nuanced reasoning, but there may also be diminishing returns depending on the task. Be prepared for potentially longer response times due to the additional processing required for the reasoning process. The value must always be less than the Maximum Tokens specified. If the value is below 1024, then extended thinking is disabled. This parameter is ignored if the model does not support extended thinking. {% endconfiguration_basic %}
