Here's my favorite use case. OpenClaw integrates with Home Assistant, the open-source smart-home platform. Once connected, you control lights, thermostats, locks, cameras, and music through natural language in your chat app.
"Set the bedroom to 68 degrees" or "Play jazz in the kitchen" just works. You can also build routines: "When I say goodnight, turn off all lights, lock the front door, and set the alarm." The difference from a voice assistant? OpenClaw remembers context. You can say "wait, leave the hallway light on" and it adjusts the previous command. Try thinking about your own evening routine as a single chat message.
