Grok Checks My Garage Door State Via Camera Feed, No Sensor Needed

View on X

Asked @grok @bot to check my garage doors are closed at 8pm every night and ping me if they’re open. It figured out I didn’t have any devices connected that monitored the door state, but I did have security cameras. Via home assistant, it checked the camera feed and discerned the garage door state! Next is getting it to use the Tesla’s home link to close the doors if they’re open. Seems like the missing link for smart homes is the ‘smart’ part… ai assistants like Grok Bot can stitch it all together with intelligence, without relying on complicated and often brittle if-this-then-that chains that disregard edge cases.
