What it does

The assistant lives in the sidebar. Ask it what is going on, tell it what to do, or ask it to build an automation:

"Is anything open?" · "Which lights are on?" · "How warm is the bedroom?"
"Turn off the kitchen light" · "Close all the blinds" · "Set the living room to 22°"
"Every night at 23:30, switch the garden lights off"
"How much solar did we produce this week?"

It understands the names you gave your devices and rooms, in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian or Portuguese, and copes with synonyms ("lamp", "lights", "luz", "Licht").
