I saw countless thread on this subreddit about how Claude with HA is magic, naturally I'm interested as well because my Dashboard sucks and I want to re-design but just didn't have the time.
But now that I've looked into it, it seems we have to give our HA admin token which means it can see all of our config including sensitive data like password, video recording, addresses, etc.
Am I crazy because why is no one asking/raise concerns about this? I looked through this subreddit, HA forum, the github and didn't find anyone talking about this except few comments here and there without any response whatsoever. Do we just have to trust or is there any way we don't have to expose sensitive stuff to the AI? Because as far as I know HA still doesn't have Role Based Access Control where we can create user with limited access.
I saw the Privacy page for ha-mcp but it's not ha-mcp that I'm worried about, it's the AI client.
