Scenes at a touch

Welcome, Curtain and Away: controls named for the moment, not the equipment behind it.

The idea

The strongest smart-home interfaces use familiar language. Instead of asking people to remember circuits or device groups, a small number of clear scenes can coordinate the intended response.

Design approach

Name controls around actions people already understand.
Keep essential local control available without relying on a phone.
Review each scene with the people who will use it every day.
