Works with the
smart home you already have.

She borrows your Alexa routines. She never overwrites them.

If you already have a wind-down routine on Alexa, Nora will quietly read it, respect it, and time her own suggestions around it. When she does decide to step in — a hallway dim, a softer volume, an earlier start — she asks Alexa to run what you already have. No new skill names to remember, no competing routines.

All on-device. Nothing leaves your home.

Nora treats Apple Home as the canonical source for anything that touches sleep, family, or caregiving. Patterns she learns from your HomePods and Hue bridge never traverse the internet — they live on the devices you already trust, and she reads them locally. If Apple is your backbone, she will never step on it.

Your Nest thermostat, a little more considered.

Google Home rolls out in April. When it does, Nora will read your Nest Thermostat’s schedule and the presence signal from your Nest Hubs — the small things, not the intrusive ones. She will queue your Friday playlist on the Chromecast when you sit at the desk. She will never listen to a room.

Light that follows your evening, not the clock.

Hue is where Nora spends most of her time. Your bulbs’ color temperature drifts from a morning 4000K down to an evening 2200K — not on a schedule, but on where you are and what you’re doing. The hallway dims when the third stair creaks. The bedroom is already at 18% when you sit down to read.

Your music, at the volume you would have picked.

Nora never starts a speaker cold. If your Sonos is already playing, she will ease into the next track. If it isn’t, she will wait for a cue — the click of a door, the scrape of a chair — and queue at 3% where you normally sit at 14%. She keeps the evening playlist, she does not write it.

A thermostat that reads your week, not your app.

Nora watches the ecobee remote sensors in each room and nudges setpoints by half a degree at a time. On the week her remote in the office didn’t register a presence, she stopped warming it in the mornings. On the weekend her mother came, she kept the guest bath floor at 74° from six in the morning. Nobody noticed. That was the point.

The keypad stays the source of truth.

If you flip the scene keypad to “dim,” Nora considers the conversation over. She will never fight a manual override. Instead, she learns from them: the week you pressed the bedroom keypad at 9:40 three nights in a row, she pulled the whole wind-down sequence twelve minutes earlier on her own authority.

Motion and contact as hints, never alarms.

SmartThings is the most optional integration Nora has. If you want her to know that the south window is open before the pollen forecast tips, plug in a contact sensor. If you don’t, she will work fine without it. She treats every sensor as a hint, never a siren — the most she will ever do with a leak alert is pause the dishwasher and mention it quietly.

If we don’t see your hub,
we’ll tell you at checkout.

Nora onboards by asking you to sign into the hubs you already have. If you have none of the above, she works fine with just the voice journal and the weekly letter — but she is quieter. Most households land with one of Alexa, Apple Home, or Google Home plus Hue or Sonos. That’s where she does her best work.
