Layered security, not isolated sensors
Most security systems are disconnected — a camera here, a lock there. Somni coordinates all of them. somni_occupancy knows which rooms are occupied. somni_person identifies who's home by their devices. somni_security uses this context to decide whether to alert or stay quiet. And somni_outdoor lights the perimeter when darkness falls or motion is detected.
