Say House – a bookmark‑based voice interface for smart home control

Description and use

Say House is a bookmark‑based web page that lets a user control lights and scenes in a smart home via voice or text, eliminating the need for multiple apps.

Problem

Jenna does not want to install or learn multiple smart‑home apps and wants a simple way to control lights and scenes.

Outcome

Jenna can control lights and scenes with a single bookmark, eliminating the need for multiple apps and reducing friction.

Workflow

• Open the bookmark on her phone
• Tap "Talk" and speak a command or type it
• Edit the transcript if misheard
• Tap "Send" to submit the command
• The page confirms the action or asks for confirmation for broad commands
• The allowed action is executed via Home Assistant or Hue

Evidence

She opens it, taps Talk, and says what she wants: "Kitchen bright."

Source

Say House never uploads the audio. What the app receives is the text she sends.
