Morning, evening and holiday: the scenarios that run the house for you

There are moments in the day when you repeat the same movements: waking up, coming home, going to bed, leaving for a holiday. A mode (a scenario) gathers those steps into a single touch — and performs them identically every time, including the energy chores you would otherwise forget.

What a scenario (mode) is

A scenario is a set of actions attached to one button or one event. Instead of ten manual steps — a single press from the dashboard, the phone or the wall panel.

Morning mode

• gentle pre-heating of the bathroom and the kitchen before you wake;
• blinds go up and soft lighting comes on;
• appliances and the coffee machine start after a set time rather than instantly.

Evening mode

• unnecessary appliances and lighting switch off;
• the perimeter closes and the alarm arms;
• the temperature drops for sleep and the blinds come down against the neighbours' view.

Holiday mode

When nobody is home, the mode protects both energy and the house:

• lighting and air conditioning switch off, heating drops to an economy setpoint;
• irrigation continues on schedule;
• the alarm and video surveillance run at full capacity;
• high-standby appliances are cut.

Alongside these, HoumeOS ships the four global modes Home, Away, Night and Holiday, each with a ready set of actions.

Other useful scenarios

• Guests — soft lighting and a warmer temperature for the evening.
• Sunny day — steer the surplus into the water heater and the car.
• Robot vacuum — start at an hour when it doesn't disturb anyone.

No programming required

Modes are assembled from ready-made actions and conditions through the interface — the integrator configures them once, and you simply press the button. No code, no dependence on external services, and no broken automation when a cloud has an outage.

History and reports

Every mode leaves a trace: when it ran, what it changed, what it saved. The reports make comfort tangible — you can see the house working in your place, and tune it to be even gentler.
