Glossary

These words come up throughout the docs; they nest one inside another, and once you see the layers everything connects (the hierarchy is laid out in Core concepts).

TermMeaning
Smart SpaceThe whole environment you hand to seenzus to look after — every Site, every device, the preferences it has learned and the rules you’ve set, taken together as one whole.
SiteOne standalone property, such as a home, a café, a guesthouse. One account can have several.
SpaceA room-level unit inside a Site, such as the living room, the main bedroom, the bar counter. seenzus acts and remembers at the scale of a Space.
DeviceOne connected thing that can be controlled or read, such as a light, an air conditioner, a door lock, a sensor.
Source / IntegrationThe doorway through which devices enter your space; the most common is Home Assistant.
Bridge (seenzus Bridge integration)The integration that runs inside Home Assistant and connects your devices in securely.
RulesHard boundaries you set for the butler; it follows them to the letter in everything it does.
What I’ve learnedPatterns seenzus gradually notices while watching over things for you; you can disable any of them at any time.
SkillsA way of doing a kind of task that you teach the butler; skills can be added, enabled and disabled.
Your callThe inbox for things that need your decision (anticipations, devices waiting to be sorted, and so on); tapping the lemon-colored “Wants to ask you” strip on the home page opens it.
ActivityThe record of every action that has happened in your place, each marked with its origin.
Tidying / Tidy deskThe process of sorting devices into the right Spaces and cleaning up their names; seenzus suggests, you confirm.
Owner / MemberThe owner owns and runs this Smart Space; members are people invited in, and can be limited to a visibility scope.
MemoryThe preferences it has learned — split into “this place’s” (per Space) and “yours personally”.
OccupantSomeone in the space who is looked after but doesn’t log in, such as a hotel guest. seenzus looks after the room; it doesn’t identify individuals.
