Spook is a custom integration (plugin) for Home Assistant that adds a large collection of extra tools, services, entities, and features not suitable for core Home Assistant. It extends automations and scripts with new actions, adds monitoring entities, and proactively detects issues like broken or orphaned entities in your instance.

Use cases

  • find broken or orphaned entities in my Home Assistant instance
  • add extra actions and services to Home Assistant automations and scripts
  • monitor my Home Assistant Cloud connection with new entities
  • reverse engineer Home Assistant blueprints from existing automations
  • get proactive issue detection for my smart home configuration
  • extend Home Assistant with features that don't fit the core project
  • manage and clean up unused entities and integrations

When to choose

  • you use Home Assistant and want powerful extra tooling beyond core features
  • you want to detect and fix configuration issues like dead entity references
  • you need utility actions for automations, scripts, and blueprint management
  • you're comfortable running community custom integrations via HACS

When to avoid

  • you only want officially supported Home Assistant integrations
  • you can't tolerate the risk of a custom integration breaking on Home Assistant updates
  • you don't use Home Assistant at all
