YAMORI LABConnect ↗A PERSONAL LAB FOR AI HOME
A new possibility for home: intelligence.
Smart homes, AI, IoT, and home systems.
Through research, experiments, and making,
we explore a future where the home itself becomes intelligent.
01 / VISION
Turn on a light. Adjust the temperature.
What everyday needs lie behind those actions?
At YAMORI LAB, AI Home goes beyond remote control. It understands its environment and daily life, anticipates needs, offers suggestions, and acts appropriately. We explore comfortable homes that respect the choices of the people who live in them.
Observe
Temperature, humidity, light, and presence. Sensors capture what is happening at home right now.
Interpret
Connect the observations to interpret the room’s conditions and the context of daily life.
Anticipate
Use changes and routines to anticipate what may be needed next.
Offer choices
Offer ways to make life more comfortable, explain the reasoning, and let people choose.
Take action
Operate home systems appropriately, with attention to people’s intentions and safety.
02 / PROJECTS
Research themes connecting everyday life and technology.
Start with a hypothesis. Learn by making.
INTERFACE / SMART HOME
See the state of your home at a glance and review AI suggestions. A small wall interface explores how people and their homes interact.
Starting with a CoreS3 smart panel, we explore a single screen for status, controls, and reviewing suggestions. We also consider which tasks to automate and when people should make the decision.
IoT / HOUSING EQUIPMENT
Investigate protocols such as ECHONET Lite and explore connections that bring different devices and manufacturers together across the home.
We consider reading device status separately from control, aiming for connections that handle communication failures and stale data. We explore lighting and climate integration while checking what each physical device supports.
SENSING / AI
Turn temperature, humidity, and presence readings into more than numbers. Explore contextual understanding and suggestions for greater comfort.
We explore how observations from multiple sensors can describe a room and support explainable AI suggestions. Rather than making assumptions from numbers alone, we use people’s feedback to improve understanding.
03 / ARTICLES
Our first notes on thinking about AI Home.
Controlling appliances from a phone is a useful starting point. AI Home asks whether the home can understand why an action is needed. Is someone feeling hot, or preparing to return home? The shift from following commands to offering contextual support is central to our exploration.
Sense, Understand, Predict, Suggest, and Act describe five capabilities for that future. Our goal is a home people feel comfortable trusting, rather than automation for its own sake.
A home that acts automatically needs to earn trust. Why was a suggestion made? What will change? Can it be undone? Providing the information people need to decide is part of designing AI Home.
Adjusting a light calls for different checks than locking a door or taking an action that affects safety. We consider the appropriate level of autonomy for each action and create ways to confirm people’s intentions.
First, research the mechanisms and specifications. Next, test a hypothesis with a small experiment. Then make something that can work in everyday life. YAMORI LAB values this continuous cycle.
Record not only what worked, but also what remains unclear and where the limitations lie. We examine the challenges between home systems and AI, one concrete question at a time.

YAMORI LABPERSONAL RESEARCH & MAKING
Research. Experiment. Make.
YAMORI LAB is a personal lab exploring a future where AI makes the home itself intelligent. Across smart homes, AI, IoT, and home systems, we ask how technology can help in everyday life.
Turn a big vision into small experiments. Research independently, build with our own hands, and learn from what we make. This is where we share that process.
