Practical patterns for a home that responds well.

These are transparent demonstration patterns—not invented customer case studies. Each one shows how several simple signals can create a useful, understandable result.

Pattern 01 · Lighting

The house settles into evening

Outdoor light levels, room activity and the household's preferred timing work together. Living areas warm gradually, pathways remain safe and unused rooms do not stay bright.

Signals: Sun position, illuminance, presence
Actions: Scenes, dimming, pathway lights
Fallback: Every wall control remains available

Pattern 02 · Climate

Comfort follows the room

Temperature trends, humidity, occupancy and shading inform a restrained climate plan. The system avoids fighting open windows and reduces noise overnight.

Signals: Temperature, humidity, occupancy
Actions: HVAC mode, fans, shading
Fallback: Simple manual temperature control

Pattern 03 · Energy

Use surplus with intent

Reliable measurements identify when genuine solar surplus is available. Flexible loads can run inside safe limits, while the dashboard explains what happened and why.

Signals: Solar, grid, battery, tariff
Actions: Alerts and flexible load windows
Fallback: Device schedules and controls remain intact

Pattern 04 · Away mode

One action, clear confirmation

Away mode checks selected conditions, handles non-essential loads and leaves a concise record. Unexpected states are reported rather than silently forced.

Signals: Household state, access, selected loads
Actions: Setbacks, shutdowns, useful alerts
Fallback: Clear exceptions and manual override

Your routines will be different
