Abstract
In one embodiment, a virtual room-based user interface is provided. The interface displays a view of a virtual room that corresponds to a physical room and that includes a representation of a first device present in the physical room and at least one of a portion of structure of the physical room or a portion of furnishings present in the physical room. User input is received via the interface that indicates a change of state in the physical room. In response to the user input, a change is caused to a state provided by the first device, and the interface dynamically updates appearance of the virtual room to change appearance of the representation of the first device and at least one of the portion of the structure of the physical room or the portion of the furnishings present in the physical room to reflect the change to the state.
