The “Smart Home” is a futuristic upgrade to your current living situation! It controls: lights, kitchen/bathroom appliances, entertainment systems, doors/windows, temperature, security cameras, etc… Smart Home can be controlled through voice activation or mobile device. All tasks can be set to a schedule. Smart Home cannot carry a conversation.
The “Robot Maid” is a personal assistant that makes your life easier! It can cook, clean, preform scheduled tasks, and behave semi-autonomously. Robot Maid comes with several personality templates, accepts verbal commands, and can carry a basic conversation. Robot Maid cannot perform intellectually complex tasks such as driving or filing taxes. Robot Maid will never harm a human being. Battery lasts 14 hours. When battery is low, it will plug itself into the wall socket and enter sleep mode for 10 hours.
Is it really “lazy” to want your lights to turn on automatically when you get home? Or to alert you when someone is in your yard? It’s not a ton of electricity either
“More often than not” only applies to always-online devices that pretty much no one serious about automation would ever buy. Every smart integrator will be using zigbee, zwave, or hardwired lights.
If the device needs to talk to an external server to work, it’s not going in my home
