Updated 6 October 2026. This is the one place that says what works. Other pages link here instead of repeating caveats.
Works with local MCP clients today. The Grok Bot connection is in progress.
| Part | Works today (software, checked in CI every night) | Not verified yet |
|---|---|---|
| Gateway and simulated light | Six MCP tools over stdio or authenticated HTTP on 127.0.0.1; MCP Inspector first success; simulator kit |
Grok Bot use; Windows and Intel Mac installs |
| Linux SDK | grok-linux-agent dev ./my_gadget.py with the decorator API, against the gateway's main |
Real peripherals, systemd, Raspberry Pi hardware |
| ESP32 SDK | Host tests, both firmware examples compile, simulated USB link to the gateway | Flashing, a physical C124 board, its LED and button |
| Home Assistant probe | Read-only discovery against fixtures | A real Home Assistant home |
| Browser playground | Local JavaScript model of the light | — (it never calls Grok) |
What "verified" means here
- Software: tests, builds and local MCP calls. A device acknowledgement is the device's report, not proof of a physical effect.
- Grok Bot: a cloud Bot cannot open
127.0.0.1on your computer. A supported remote route is later work (tracked asHARD-GROK-REMOTE-001). Button events do not wake the Bot. - Hardware: needs a person to observe the board. No board was flashed for this project.
Tested component versions are in the compatibility manifest. How the parts connect and who runs what: hosting FAQ. Dated evidence for maintainers starts at the verification record.
