Abstract

Today, an increasing number of household appliances is being connected to the Internet to form a smart home. Intelligent control algorithms in the cloud adapt the configuration of this Internet-of-Things to our daily routines and personal preferences. Frequently, there are unforeseen situations where the control algorithms will not capture the actual desired configuration. In these cases, the user must intervene in the control algorithms and manually adjust the connected object's setting. Browsing to the appropriate web service or launching the vendor-specific companion app for even a simple interaction like lowering the temperature setting is a tedious process.
