My wife is woken up by her side table lamp, gradually increasing in brightness until it can’t be ignored. The air-conditioning has already warmed (or cooled in the summer) the house up before sunrise. She begins her day by making coffee by using an already boiled kettle, by this time her side lamp has turned itself off to let me continue to sleep! Alexa forces me to get up by opening our blinds and as I head off to work, I close the front door behind me.
Alexa notes the door is closed via a sensor, locks the Schlage Encode behind me and based on the time of day assumes it’s me heading to work so she opens the garage door as I approach it. On this particular day, I forget to close the garage behind me as I drive away. Via the camera and sensors installed in the garage, Alexa realises my mistake and closes it for me, she also gently messages my phone to remind me to close it next time.
While at work and with no one home, a courier presses our Amazon Ring™ doorbell. My phone lights up with a video of them waiting at the front door, I talk to them through my phone explain no one is home, and I open the garage for them to put the package somewhere safe. All while monitoring them by camera and safely closing the garage once they are done.
Around midday Alexa detects no movement in the home and activates the robot vacuum to do a clean, either allowing it to finish the entire home or asking it to return to it’s dock the moment someone returns home.
