Bedtime taper: the house dims itself as rooms empty
Instead of a fixed bedtime scene, the house watches which rooms still have someone in them and lowers the rest of the lighting one step every 10 minutes, so the last person standing walks to bed through a house that is already dark.

Guest mode: local recording only, cameras pause in private rooms
One boolean flips the house into guest mode: indoor cameras stop recording and physically close their privacy shutters, cloud uploads pause, and the hallway still lights on presence. Mode exits automatically 6 hours after the last guest device leaves Wi-Fi.

Departure standby sweep with a 12-device check list
When the last person leaves, a 45-second sweep walks a fixed list of twelve devices, turns off what should be off, and refuses to touch the freezer, the router or the server shelf. Reports back one summary notification instead of twelve.

Room-following light that tracks you along the corridor
Three Thread presence sensors hand a single 20 % light level from zone to zone so the corridor is lit 2 m ahead of you and 4 m behind, without ever lighting the whole run at once. Measured handoff latency 600 ms.

Arrival warm-light handoff on the hall mmWave
A 60 GHz mmWave sensor in the entry hall turns on a 2400 K two-fixture scene the moment you step in, holds it for 12 minutes, and refuses to fire in daylight. Total detect-to-light latency measured at 850 ms.
