For modern families who want an automated home, but not speakers that send every word to someone else's data centre. Your Node.Bot sits in your house, knows your devices and your family, and does the computing itself.
Examples
What your Node.Bot can take on.
Each example says what runs today and what comes next.
6 examples shown
Control your home without a cloud speaker
Today
Ask about the temperature in the children's room or have the living room light switched off. The computing happens in your house.
Example: “How warm is it in the children's room?” “21.4 °C, just measured.” The bot reads values fresh before it answers.
Today
Asking and switching, important actions with approval, emergency stop, timers and music through the Home Assistant plugin.
Next
A voice in every room and automations by sentence.
A family with roles
Today
Parents, children and guests get their own rights. You decide who may switch what.
Example: The child may dim their own room light, but not turn up the heating for the whole house.
Today
Roles for household members, confirmation by parents for new commands.
Next
We do our best to offer children an AI that suits them. There is no guarantee for that.
Music, radio and audio plays
Today
Music per room and per person, radio stations and audio plays, started by sentence.
Example: “Play radio in the bathroom.” And the sentence “a bit quieter” adjusts the volume.
Today
Music through Music Assistant, Apple Music per person, radio.
Next
More music services.
A voice in every room
Planned
Say “Marnis, ...” wherever you are. The answer comes from the speaker in the same room.
Example: In the kitchen, with flour on your hands: “Marnis, set a timer for twelve minutes.”
Today
Speaking in the web app and in the iPhone app.
Next
First the Mac app as a room device with a wake word, then speakers in more rooms.
Make your home safer
Planned
Alerts when a window is open and it is raining, or when a door opens at night. You set it up by sentence.
Example: “Tell me if the patio door is still open in the evening.” The bot creates the rule, you confirm.
Today
Questions about sensors and camera images, which the bot can describe.
Next
Creating and changing automations in Home Assistant, always with your approval.
Pre-sort the family mail
In progress
Bills, school mail and newsletters end up separated, without an outside service reading your emails.
Example: A short overview in the morning: two bills, one letter from school, the rest can wait.
Today
Connecting mailboxes through the Secretary plugin.
Next
Sorting by type and importance; it only reads and never sends on its own.
