The requirement holding this line back is simple: a light must switch when the internet does not. Anything that bricks without a cloud service is out of scope.

Smart home
Lighting, plugs and sensors that keep their basic function when the network is unavailable.
Lighting, plugs and sensors, selected on one condition: the device keeps its basic function when the network is down. A light that stops being a light without cloud access does not carry the mark. The line is still in development.

How it is run
The requirement holding this line back is simple: a light must switch when the internet does not. Anything that bricks without a cloud service is out of scope.
- Brief — Local control is a requirement, not a feature.
- Specification — Each device must retain its basic function offline.
- Status — In development until the offline behaviour is proven across the set.

Concept · runs with HOB AI
The routine stays in the room.
Every line is drawn around the same assistant. It is asked for out loud, it resolves what it can on the device in front of you, and it answers with the thing rather than a conversation about the thing.

- Ask
- Say it in the room
- Understand
- The routine is held on the hub
- Act
- The room works with the network down
- Ask — Say it in the room. The instruction goes to the hub, not to a server in another country.
- Understand — The routine is held locally, so it is still there when the connection is not.
- Act — Lights, plugs and sensors do the thing — and with the line down, each still keeps its basic function.
A concept drawing, not a shipping specification. The assistant is HOB AI and the device it was written for is HB·001.
