The Internet of Things won't take off until devices can hand Google/Amazon/Apple a list of nouns that respond to a list of verbs. Memorizing these voice commands is as clunky as using a different mobile app for each appliance.

"Turn on the coffee machine when my alarm goes off"

"Turn the stove down in 5 minutes"

"Is the dryer done?"
