Smart Home Hub Voice Control SDK
Central device connecting smart home protocols
How BotSurf works on a Smart Home Hub
BotSurf runs on a Smart Home Hub as an on-device AI voice agent, not a fixed list of matched commands. Voice control for all connected devices. One command controls lights, locks, thermostats. Because the underlying engine is a real AI model rather than a command-matching layer, it handles phrasing variation, multi-step requests, and follow-up questions the way a person actually talks — not the rigid "say this exact phrase" pattern older voice integrations require.
The manufacturer opportunity
Differentiate hubs with superior voice. This is a genuine AI differentiator, not a rebadged wake-word matcher — Smart Home Hub manufacturers can market real on-device AI reasoning, multi-step task handling, and privacy-preserving local processing, positioning against competitors still shipping fixed-command "voice control" as if it were the same thing.
Hardware & memory baseline
The floor Smart Home & IoT devices need to clear before integration; exact figures are confirmed per project once we know your chipset and target markets.
Minimum RAM
256 MB for simple sensors/actuators relaying to a hub; 1 GB for hub devices running local AI agent orchestration
Minimum storage
1–4 GB depending on whether the device is a simple endpoint or the hub coordinating a whole home's voice layer
CPU architecture
ARM Cortex-M/A depending on device tier; simple endpoints can run on microcontroller-class hardware, hubs need real application-processor headroom
Microphone array
Only required on the device the person actually talks to (hub, speaker-integrated devices); most endpoints in this category never need one
Network
Wi-Fi, Zigbee, Z-Wave, Thread or Matter depending on device role; BotSurf's AI intent layer sits above whichever protocol the device already uses
Interoperability
This is the category where cross-device AI orchestration matters most — one spoken command routing correctly to the right bulb, lock or thermostat depends on clean protocol-to-intent mapping
Chipset compatibility
Broad support across the Espressif, Nordic, and Realtek families common in IoT endpoints, plus full-featured SoCs for hub-class devices
