AuraHome.AI — Frequently Asked Questions
How does AuraHome.AI understand natural language voice commands?
AuraHome.AI captures your spoken audio via the browser's Web Speech API and sends the raw transcript to Google Gemini 1.5 Flash. Gemini parses your intent — including multi-device instructions like "Set movie night mode and lock the front door" — and returns a structured JSON action list executed in under 400ms.
Can AuraHome.AI connect to real smart home hardware?
Yes. The Ecosystem Bridge settings panel is designed to integrate with physical hardware via MQTT over Zigbee 3.0 or Tuya's Open API. The platform ships with a simulated device state machine for instant demo use, and can be wired to a real Home Assistant broker or any WebSocket-capable IoT gateway for production deployments.
How is real-time energy consumption calculated?
Each device card maintains a powerWatts value that dynamically updates with device state. The Energy Radar page aggregates the live watt draw across all active appliances, renders a 24-hour load profile chart, and invokes Gemini 1.5 Flash to generate three data-backed optimization tips with an estimated monthly USD savings figure.
How do smart lock and security camera controls work?
The Security Panel displays live lock status (Securely Locked / Unlocked) for all registered deadbolts and shows camera feeds. You can toggle locks directly via the panel UI, the device card on the main dashboard, or with a voice command such as "Lock the front door and arm perimeter cameras."
What are smart scenes and how do they help?
Smart scenes are one-click presets that simultaneously update multiple devices. AuraHome.AI ships with six: Movie Night, Sleep Sanctuary, Away / Lock Down, Morning Rise, Deep Focus Work, and Eco Saver. Each scene executes all device state changes in parallel — identical to activating a Home Assistant scene via its REST API.
How do IF/THEN automation rules differ from scenes?
Scenes are manually triggered. Automation rules fire automatically based on a trigger condition — a specific time (e.g., 11:00 PM nightly auto-lock), a real-time power draw threshold (e.g., dim lights when grid load exceeds 2,500W), or a temperature sensor crossing a setpoint. Rules are evaluated on every device state change and persist across sessions.
