Building a SmartThings Agent

Hey folks,

I’m researching an MCP protocol and language model-based agent for the SmartThings platform. The idea is the agent that runs 4-6 times every hour, checks the state of the home, and potentially can trigger smart automations.

Some early use cases I’ve been exploring:

  • Detecting forgotten lights, unlocked doors, or open windows
  • Notifying when something changes unexpectedly (e.g., temperature spike, door opened while away)

The backend and architecture are covered — what I’m looking for now is your input as smart home users and automators:

  • What kinds of automations do you wish existed but never got around to building?
  • What routines or “background brains” would actually make your daily life a bit better?

I’d love to hear your ideas, feature wishes, or even things you don’t think are worth doing.

Thanks in advance!
Andrew

That light that I dim down to the same level every single day when I come home. One day I will modify the arrival routine…
