Controlling home automation with the planner
To get a better idea of what the planner can do, we will create a home automation application. We will not actually write functions that really control home automation, but assuming those exist, we will write their wrappers as native functions. We will also add a semantic function to our kernel and incorporate it into the planner.
We assume that we have a house with four rooms – a garage, kitchen, living room, and bedroom. We have automations to operate our garage door, operate the lights in all rooms, open the windows in the living room and in the bedroom, and operate the TV.
Since our objective is to learn about Semantic Kernel and not about home automation, these functions will be very simple. We want our user to be able to say something such as “turn on the lights of the bedroom,” and the result will be that our native function will say “bedroom lights turned on.”
