1. A home automation system comprising:
- a memory to store a set of assumptions about scheduled settings in the home automation system which control a set of devices in a home;
a processor to control the set of devices according to the set of assumptions;
a set of sensors coupled to the home automation system, at least one of the set of sensors being a smarter plug sensor assigned to control a first device in the set of devices, the set of sensors for detecting input indicating activity in the home; and
a computer driven user interface for presenting suggestions for changing a first assumption of the set of assumptions based on a detected input, the first assumption for controlling a device separate from the sensor producing the detected input.

Abstract
A set of assumptions about scheduled settings in a home automation system which control devices in a home is provided. An input from a sensor coupled to the home automation system is received. The input indicates that activity has occurred in the home. Suggestions in the user interface are presented for changing a first assumption of the set of assumptions based on the input. The first assumption is for controlling a device separate from the sensor which produced the input.
