What can Charyl control in my home?

Charyl can switch, dim, recolor, and set the color temperature or a preset on your lights, switches, and fans — the everyday comfort layer of the house. Ask her directly (“turn off the living room lights,” “set the porch light to warm white,” “put the bedroom fan on medium”) and she resolves the right device, then waits for a tap before anything changes.

Reading state is unrestricted, for anything in the home. “Is the back door locked” or “is the garage open” are always fair questions, answered live from the device’s own reported state. The restriction is only on acting: Charyl will not lock or unlock a door, open or close a garage door, or move a cover or blind in conversation. Those go through the device controls in the web app or the mobile app instead. Unlocking a door asks you to confirm first, and only Admin, Homeowner and Resident logins can unlock or open — guests can’t.

Thermostat and HVAC control isn’t available anywhere in the product yet — not through Charyl, not through the app. It’s on the list; it isn’t built.

Every device action she takes waits for its own tap, and the tap covers exactly that action — confirming “brightness to 20%” can’t be used to set it to 100%.
