Learn How →Designing Great Automations
The best automations are invisible — they work reliably, respond quickly, and feel natural. Here are a few principles to guide your design.
Speed Matters
Physical buttons are faster than unlocking a phone. Design for instant action.
Context Awareness
The same button can do different things depending on time of day, room occupancy, or active scene.
Family-Friendly
Design for everyone — physical buttons and clear labels make smart homes accessible.
