Abstract
A home automation system may include addressable devices and device scene controller. The controller may obtain a first desired scene including a first trigger action and responsive event and present a first user-selectable list of addressable devices capable of implementing the first desired scene. The controller may determine the first user-selected addressable devices, and, upon the first trigger event, perform the first responsive event using the first user-selected addressable devices. The controller may obtain from the cloud a second desired scene including a second trigger action and responsive event, present a second user-selectable list of corresponding addressable devices capable of implementing the second desired scene, determine the second user-selected addressable devices, and upon the second trigger event, perform the second responsive event using the second user-selected addressable devices. When the addressable devices are incapable of implementing the scene, the controller may present a purchase offer for an additional addressable device.
