# How to connect Domotz to Hermes Agent (paste one key, 99 tools) > Connect Domotz to Hermes with ClawLink: paste your Domotz key once and 99 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/hermes/domotz-mcp Most guides for giving Hermes Agent Domotz access start with registering your own OAuth app or pasting API keys into env files, then leave the token refresh and tool wiring to you. ClawLink gives Hermes a more practical Domotz setup: pair once in the browser and your always-on Hermes agent can act on Domotz for you, reading and doing real work on your behalf with no auth, token refresh, or tool wiring to build yourself. ## Setup It takes three steps to connect Hermes to Domotz. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to Hermes Agent once. 2. **Connect Domotz** — one-click OAuth in the ClawLink dashboard. 3. **Use it from chat** — ask Hermes Agent in plain English. **Paste this into Hermes to set up ClawLink:** > Set up ClawLink for Hermes and tell me when it's ready. > 1. Install the plugin: `hermes plugins install ClawLink-HQ/hermes-plugin --enable` > 2. Start pairing with `hermes clawlink begin`. It prints an approval link, so show me the link and stop, don't wait. > 3. I'll approve it in my browser, then reply "approved". > 4. When I say approved, finish setup: `hermes clawlink finish` > 5. Then run `hermes clawlink test` and tell me whether ClawLink is ready. **Alternative for any agent (no plugin needed):** if the Hermes Agent plugin route isn't available or doesn't work, any AI agent with shell access can use the ClawLink CLI instead: ```bash npx -y @useclawlink/cli login # sign in via browser — no API key to paste npx -y @useclawlink/cli connect domotz-mcp # connect Domotz (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions domotz-mcp # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run domotz-mcp --input '' # execute (add --confirm for writes) ``` ### Install by command The prompt above walks Hermes through this. By hand, it is four commands and a browser approval: ```bash hermes plugins install ClawLink-HQ/hermes-plugin --enable hermes clawlink begin # prints an approval link — open it and approve hermes clawlink finish # after approving in the browser hermes clawlink test ``` Then connect Domotz in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Domotz API key once. Verify the connection by asking Hermes: > Use Domotz to collector discovery status and walk me through the result in plain English. ### Using a different agent? The Hermes plugin is one client of ClawLink's MCP server. Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or any agent that can run a shell command pairs with the same ClawLink account through the CLI: ```bash npx -y @useclawlink/cli login ``` `login` opens the same browser approval and stores a credential locally. Once Domotz is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 99 Domotz tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Domotz to Hermes Agent and exposes 99 Domotz tools your agent can call over [MCP](https://claw-link.dev/learn/what-is-an-mcp-server), with [hosted auth](https://claw-link.dev/learn/oauth-for-ai-agents) and nothing to run or maintain yourself. Using OpenClaw instead? The [OpenClaw Domotz integration](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/domotz-mcp) works the same way. ## What the Hermes Agent Domotz integration can do 99 Domotz tools are ready for Hermes Agent once the account is connected. The 30 below are the ones people reach for most; your agent can call all 99. ### 30 of 99 Domotz tools for Hermes | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Collector discovery status** `domotz_mcp_collector_discovery_status` | Returns the discovery dashboard data for a collector, including initial discovery progress | | **Collector overview** `domotz_mcp_collector_overview` | Fetch a high-level overview of a collector including its identity, health status, software | | **Compare config backup** `domotz_mcp_compare_config_backup` | Compares two configuration backup snapshots of the same device | | **Device inventory** `domotz_mcp_device_inventory` | Returns detailed information about a single device: identity, status, capabilities, protocol | | **Device performance** `domotz_mcp_device_performance` | Fetch device performance metrics including round-trip delay, packet loss, uptime, SNMP sensor | | **Get account info** `domotz_mcp_get_account_info` | Returns identity and account context for the currently authenticated user: user ID, email | | **Get audit log filters** `domotz_mcp_get_audit_log_filters` | Return the set of values available for filtering Domotz audit logs: the operation categories | | **Get collector alert rule bindings** `domotz_mcp_get_collector_alert_rule_bindings` | List alert rules bound to a specific collector, including bindings at the collector level and | | **Get collector capabilities** `domotz_mcp_get_collector_capabilities` | Inspect what the customer's Collector can actually run | | **Get collector credential coverage** `domotz_mcp_get_collector_credential_coverage` | Collector-wide credential audit | | **Get config backup entry** `domotz_mcp_get_config_backup_entry` | Returns a single configuration backup snapshot's text for a device | | **Get config backup status** `domotz_mcp_get_config_backup_status` | Lists devices on a collector that have configuration backup ('config backup') enabled, with the | | **Get create tag form** `domotz_mcp_get_create_tag_form` | Shows an interactive form to create a new custom tag, with a name field and a color picker | | **Get device alert rule bindings** `domotz_mcp_get_device_alert_rule_bindings` | List alert rules bound to a specific device, including device-level bindings and bindings to | | **Get device alerts** `domotz_mcp_get_device_alerts` | Retrieve alert and monitoring configuration status for a specific device | | **Get device credentials** `domotz_mcp_get_device_credentials` | Per-device credential status drill-down | | **Get device history** `domotz_mcp_get_device_history` | Returns the per-device History / Event Log for a single device: the chronological stream of | | **Get device interfaces** `domotz_mcp_get_device_interfaces` | Lists the SNMP-collected interfaces on a device | | **Get device metrics** `domotz_mcp_get_device_metrics` | Fetch summarised time-series analytics for one or more named metrics on a device within a time | | **Get device profile job history** `domotz_mcp_get_device_profile_job_history` | Lists device-profile apply jobs for the account: which profile was applied, who submitted it | | **Get driver catalog** `domotz_mcp_get_driver_catalog` | Lists the account-wide catalog of drivers available for attaching and executing on devices | | **Get driver template** `domotz_mcp_get_driver_template` | Fetch a single driver template, including its full JS code body and requirement metadata | | **Get interface traffic** `domotz_mcp_get_interface_traffic` | Returns traffic counters for one or more device interfaces over a time range | | **Get network configuration** `domotz_mcp_get_network_configuration` | Fetch what a collector actually scans, to answer 'why isn't this device discovered?' | | **Get organization** `domotz_mcp_get_organization` | Get the full details of a single Organization by its internal `id`: name, `organization_id` | | **Get uptime** `domotz_mcp_get_uptime` | Returns uptime stats for a collector or device over a time range: total uptime percentage | | **Inspect driver** `domotz_mcp_inspect_driver` | Static analysis of a driver's JS against the Domotz sandbox | | **List alert rules** `domotz_mcp_list_alert_rules` | Lists alert rule definitions in the account | | **List collector metrics** `domotz_mcp_list_collector_metrics` | Enumerate the metrics available on a collector — speed-test thresholds, IP-conflict status | | **List communication channels** `domotz_mcp_list_communication_channels` | List the user's notification channels (email, webhook, Slack, etc.) | ##

ClawLink vs. building it yourself The alternative to ClawLink is usually manual API key setup plus your own token handling, permission troubleshooting, and tool plumbing for Hermes Agent. That is fine if you want to build and maintain the integration yourself. Most teams just want Domotz working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Domotz API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Domotz account becomes available to the agent without you building credential management. | | **Ongoing maintenance** | You own refresh logic, permission debugging, environment config, and every provider-specific edge case for Domotz. | ClawLink handles the repetitive integration plumbing so your team can focus on the workflow instead of the infrastructure. | | **Agent usability** | You still need to expose the right Domotz actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 99 tools for Domotz are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Domotz to AI agents. It is developer infrastructure: Python and TypeScript SDKs, an MCP server, and a catalog past 1,000 apps, aimed at teams shipping agent products. ClawLink is built for Hermes Agent users instead. You install the plugin once, connect Domotz in the browser, and the 99 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Domotz key you paste at setup is stored server-side rather than kept in your environment. Choosing between them? Read the full [Composio alternatives](https://claw-link.dev/hub/composio-alternatives) comparison. ### Hermes paired but still can't use Domotz Pairing is a two-step handshake: run `hermes clawlink begin`, approve the link in your browser, then run `hermes clawlink finish`. If you ran finish before approving, or the approval link expired, run `hermes clawlink begin` again to get a fresh link. Confirm the plugin was installed with `--enable`, then verify with `hermes clawlink test`. ### Connection succeeds but no tools appear Reconnect Domotz from the dashboard, then start a fresh chat if the runtime still has the old tool catalog loaded. ### "Tool schema not loaded yet" error when calling Domotz tools Domotz tool schemas load on demand the first time a tool runs and are cached after that, so this error usually clears on its own: wait a few seconds and retry the same request. If every Domotz call keeps failing with it in a fresh chat, reconnect from the dashboard, and contact support if it still persists — that pattern points to a configuration problem on our side, not something you can fix by reconnecting again. ### Domotz returns 403 or "permission denied" on one action while others work Two usual causes. The connected account may not have access to the specific workspace, inbox, store, or project in the request — check that first. If access looks right, the agent may have sent a placeholder value (like "YOUR_ID" or an example id from documentation) instead of a real one: ask it to run a list or search tool first, then retry the action with a real id from those results. Most failures at this stage are one of these two, not ClawLink bugs. ### API key setup works but results look incomplete Double-check that the API key for Domotz has the right scopes or account access. A valid key can still be too limited for some reads or writes. ### Is there a Hermes Agent Domotz integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect Hermes to Domotz: link your Domotz account once in the browser and Hermes Agent can call the Domotz API through 99 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I connect Domotz to Hermes with ClawLink? Install the plugin with `hermes plugins install ClawLink-HQ/hermes-plugin --enable`, then pair once: run `hermes clawlink begin`, approve the link in your browser, and run `hermes clawlink finish`. Connect Domotz in the dashboard and Hermes can use it from the next message — no config files, and the Domotz key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Domotz to Hermes Agent? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Domotz in the dashboard, authenticate, and Hermes Agent can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Domotz up myself? The alternative to ClawLink is usually manual API key setup plus your own token handling, permission troubleshooting, and tool plumbing for Hermes Agent. That is fine if you want to build and maintain the integration yourself. Most teams just want Domotz working from chat. ### Hermes paired but still can't use Domotz Pairing is a two-step handshake: run `hermes clawlink begin`, approve the link in your browser, then run `hermes clawlink finish`. If you ran finish before approving, or the approval link expired, run `hermes clawlink begin` again to get a fresh link. Confirm the plugin was installed with `--enable`, then verify with `hermes clawlink test`. ## Related - [Hermes GitHub integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/github) — Manage repositories, issues, pull requests, and workflows - [Hermes PagerDuty integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/pagerduty) — Manage incidents, on-call schedules, and services - [SafetyCulture](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/safetyculture) — SafetyCulture (formerly iAuditor) is a workplace operations platform that enables teams to conduct digital inspections, manage audits, track issues, schedule tasks, and maintain compliance through mobile and web applications.
