Smart Home Agents
Smart home systems (Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home) are becoming agents — they don't just respond to commands, they predict what you want.
Modern smart homes notice patterns. If you always turn lights low at 9pm, the system starts doing it automatically.
Three things smart home agents do
- Predict and pre-set conditions you like
- Coordinate multiple devices (lights plus music plus heat)
- Respond to natural language without exact phrases
Key terms in this lesson
The big idea: Smart homes used to react to commands. Now they predict what you want.
