Merliot Hub is an AI-integrated device hub.

What does that mean? It means you can control and interact with your physical devices, your security cameras, your thermometer, seamlessly using natural language from an LLM host such as Claude Desktop or Cursor. The hub is a gateway between AI and the physical world.

What could go wrong?

Movie references are usually downvoted here, but since smart locks exists and the OP ask what could go wrong, it's a good question.

Is there a magic button to shut down the AI and go to 100% manual mode?

You don't need to enable the AI; it's optional. The web app has a full UI to manually work with your devices.
