The custom app
An app made for one house. Yours.
Smart home gear arrives with the maker's app, and a house ends up running on six of them. A House of Robots build runs on one app, drawn around the plan of your house, with your rooms and your names on everything.
What the app does
- The plan of your house
- Drawn from your floor plan, with the rooms where they actually are. Nobody has to learn which of six identical tiles is the back bedroom, because the back bedroom is at the back.
- Tap a room, get the room
- Lights, blinds, heating and cooling, music, the television, the vacuum. Whatever that room actually has, and nothing it does not.
- Temperature and humidity, room by room
- Temperature and humidity per room, and where the air is moving. It is how you find out that one bedroom sits three degrees colder than the rest of the house every winter.
- On the wall and in your pocket
- The same house on a wall panel by the door, on the tablet on the bench and on every phone in the family. It works whether or not the internet does.
- The robots are rooms too
- Send the vacuum to the back door from the same app you turn the lights off in. If you have a robot dog, it lives there as well, next to the room it is standing in.
- Your words
- If the room is called the front room, it says the front room. If the heater is called the fire, it says the fire.
Included in every full build
The app comes with the build. No extra charge and no monthly fee.
You can have the build without it. The system underneath comes with a generic app of its own, and it works. What you give up is the plan of your house, your names for the rooms, and the few things you use sitting where your thumb lands.
