Our Smart Home Knew We Were Stressed Before We Did

Our smart home knew we were stressed before we did. A 0–100 family stress score blends six sensor signals — living-room mic peaks, motion bursts on the ground floor, time of day, who’s home alone with the kids, plus a weekend modifier — into one number that quietly reshapes the house. When the score climbs over 60, lights warm automatically, music suggestions get softer, notifications get held back.

Today the score ran exactly the curve you’d expect: calm morning, red zone in the late afternoon, back to quiet after bedtime. Watch the 50-second walkthrough for the full breakdown.
