Home Assistant gateway platform (state-change events in, persistent notifications and cron notify delivery out) plus the homeassistant toolset (ha_list_entities, ha_get_state, ha_list_services, ha_call_service). Formerly built into Hermes core; existing users are migrated automatically.
How to install
Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs (this one needs HASS_TOKEN), then asks whether to turn it on.
hermes plugins install homeassistant
Said no? Turn it on later:
hermes plugins enable homeassistant
Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.
Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see Full setup & settings. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide↗ (opens in a new tab).
X Chat gateway platform: talk to Hermes in X's end-to-end encrypted DMs. Hermes runs as the X account you connect: chat with it in your own self-chat ("message yourself"), or give it a separate account and DM that. Messages are decrypted and encrypted locally with X's official Chat XDK, so X only routes ciphertext. Encrypted media, threaded replies, group mention gating and cron delivery.

ElevenLabs Music
Official
ElevenLabs Music for Hermes: describe a song or paste your lyrics and Hermes writes, generates and sends the track, 3 seconds to 10 minutes, vocals or instrumental.
ElevenLabs Music for Hermes: describe a song or paste your lyrics and Hermes writes, generates and sends the track, 3 seconds to 10 minutes, vocals or instrumental. It can redo one section, extend or loop a song, split it into stems (vocals, drums, bass, guitar, piano, other) and score a video. Long songs finish in the background and arrive in the chat. Bundles a music skill (prompting, composition plans, edit recipes) and, in Hermes Desktop, an inline music card with synced lyrics, format downloads and a music library tab. Model, audio format and endpoint are plugin settings.
Good to know before installing
Uses your ElevenLabs API key (ELEVENLABS_API_KEY, the same key as Hermes's ElevenLabs voice; needs a paid ElevenLabs plan, and a restricted key needs the Music permission); compose, plan, upload, stems and video calls are paid generations billed to your ElevenLabs account by length (drafting a plan and listing finetunes are free). Only the prompt or plan, its parameters and any file you name are sent, to api.elevenlabs.io (or the data-residency endpoint you set); with store_for_editing on, ElevenLabs keeps generated songs so they can be edited later. Files are written to cache/generated/audio under the Hermes home and never overwritten. One Python dependency (httpx, already part of Hermes).

Read before you install
Plugins run code inside your agent. Official plugins come from Nous Research's own repo. Community plugins are independent projects, so check the source, the permissions they ask for and any API keys they need. New to plugins? Start with skills vs plugins vs MCP.
