Daily routine automations
Take repeatable steps out of leaving, arriving, waking, and winding down while keeping every household transition visible. These recipes support different schedules, guests, and manual choices instead of forcing everyone through one rigid routine.
Choose a recipe
Away mode when everyone leaves
Make approved, reversible changes only after the home is confidently empty.
Quiet good-morning routine
Leave Night mode and light one person's route without disturbing sleepers.
Family-safe bedtime routine
Offer a reversible wind-down before an intentional good-night transition.
Prepare the house on arrival
Restore Home mode and approved comfort settings without unlocking from location alone.
Predictable guest mode
Keep normal controls useful, prevent false Away mode, and quiet personal automation.
Start here
Choose a transition the household already recognizes and keep the first actions reversible.
- Quiet good-morning routine - it can begin from an intentional action and affect only one route
- Predictable guest mode - it protects familiar controls before more automation is added
- Away mode - it teaches delay, uncertainty, and visible state changes
What to keep in control
- Show whether the home is in Home, Away, Night, or Guest mode.
- When presence is uncertain, do not activate Away mode.
- Keep locks and security transitions separate from phone location alone.
- Give everyone an obvious way to cancel or override a routine.
What to verify
Test different schedules, guests without phones, delayed presence updates, sleeping rooms, hub restarts, and someone returning unexpectedly. No routine should strand a person in the wrong mode or remove familiar controls.
