The problem it solves

You want to adjust the lights, curtains, or temperature without digging through a smart home app for the right device and setting. Switching between rooms and controls interrupts whatever else you are doing.

Who it fits

Homeowners with a connected smart home who want simpler, hands-free control.

How it works

  1. You type or speak a request in plain language
  2. AI figures out which room and device you mean
  3. The correct smart home action is triggered: lights, curtains, temperature, or TVs
  4. The device responds and the AI confirms what was done
What you get

Rooms that respond the moment you speak

You control your lights, temperature, and TVs by describing what you want in plain language.

What you get

The requested smart home action carried out automatically, with a confirmation reply.

What you need

A Homey Pro smart home hub and an OpenAI or Grok API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
