Selora AI

Complete guide to the Selora AI Home Assistant integration — installation, configuration, the Selora AI chat panel, MCP onboarding, and privacy.

Selora AI is the AI layer for Home Assistant — an always-on assistant that watches your home, drafts automations for your review, and responds to plain-English commands, without you having to think about prompts or models.

Who is this documentation for?

This guide is for homeowners who want to add AI-powered automation to their Home Assistant setup. No programming or professional background is required — if you can install a Home Assistant integration, you can set up Selora AI.

Get Started

Ready to install? Head to the Installation page. Selora Hub users can enable it with a single toggle; everyone else can install via HACS or manually.

OpenClaw

Selora AI works with OpenClaw , the open-source AI agent that lives in your messaging apps. Install the Selora Homes skill from ClawHub and your Claw can inspect your home, propose automations, and act on your behalf — all through natural language. Selora Hub users get a one-command setup with automatic OAuth authentication.

See the OpenClaw page for installation and configuration.
