The problem it solves

Your smart home or building system detects things happening in real time, but that data just sits there unless you check it manually. You want a sensor event, like a door opening or a temperature change, to actually trigger useful action elsewhere.

Who it fits

Property managers, facility operators, or smart-building setups using Home Assistant.

How it works

  1. A sensor or device event happens in your smart home system
  2. A listener detects the event and captures the relevant data
  3. It instantly sends that event data to your automation system
  4. Your automation system starts the next workflow immediately
What you get

Smart home events that kick off your workflows instantly

The moment a sensor detects something in your smart building, your other automated workflows kick off right away.

What you get

An instant handoff of smart home event data into your other automated workflows.

What you need

A Home Assistant setup with the AppDaemon add-on installed.

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.
