A dashboard divided in sections per-room (Living Room, Kitchen, Hallway, Bedroom, Office, Bathroom). In the various rooms there are buttons for types of lamps and curtains. There is also a button for a 3D printer and for the front door.

Board with two vacuum robots, both of which have "start"/"stop"/"go home" actions, and two drop downs to chose the intensity and the mode.

A board with three columns: - "Temperature", showing temperature for Upstairs, Bathroom, Bedroom, Office, and Outside. In the first 4 it says "off". - Windows, showing three closed windows in the bedroom, one closed and an open one in the Office, and one closed one and one open one upstairs - Air Conditioning, currently off, set to 21 degrees. It has buttons to tggle between various modes including heating and cooling, and drop downs for fan mode and fan speed
