Controller AI. Just say it.
You describe what should happen, and Controller builds the scene, the automation, or the workflow for you. Sentences you'd think to yourself in everyday life.
Whether you want a scene for movie night, an automation that turns on a dim light when you come home at night, or a workflow that waters your garden as efficiently as possible - Controller builds it for you.
You don't have to know how. Controller understands what you mean.
