Knowing what you want, how you want it and when

Curtains and blinds gently shut out the cold and dark. The temperature inside the smart home is already just warm enough for to take your coat off and start to wind down. Your favourite music is emanating from the kitchen or living room. If only your intelligent home could bring your slippers and a large glass of red…
