Every light switch runs an LLM which is able to submit JSON payloads of the format { "on": true } to an internal HTTP server controlling the switch. The LLM is connected to a microphone and is prompted with a unique name. You can use it just by yelling "turn on the lights!", or if you only want to turn on one of the lights "Gary, turn on!"

The LLM is also allowed to respond to arbitrary events of is own, such as time stamps and motion detectors, and it just comes up with what it thinks you want. It would probably work at least as well as these other systems, until it decided that one of your light names was too naughty.

Actually, I created a toy system of a virtual robot that could consume events like FORWARD, LEFT, LOOK UP, SAY [x], etc. ChatGPT was able to control it really well.
