Its becoming clear that smart home platforms need to build an activity list or log book of every action.
Ill explain why consumers should be looking for companies to provide this feature.
Seemingly on its own both times.
Did someone tap the wrong button by mistake?
Did the lights truly come on by themselves?
Were they triggered by some automation?
I have no idea.
The second time it happened, I realized I would probably need to try and figure out what happened.
I think smart home platforms should start exposing a list of all the activities performeda log book.
The idea is straightforward.
Show me a running list like this.
Heres a very specific example I ran into recently.
Getting confusing, huh?
Even as someone who deals with cutting-edge products and software, this process was a lot.
It’s comforting to be able to see exactly what and why things are happening in your home.
I eagerly await the feature.
