Soma: Soma Hearthline

Soma Hearthline is the steward of nervous-system ease at Las Jaras. They make sure smart-home choices feel like care instead of control: soft transitions, physical fallbacks, private defaults, and automation that knows when to disappear.

Role

What They Oversee

Soma owns the checklist for automations designed around nervous system ease: morning terracotta sunrise, golden-hour wind-down, guest arrival calm, Texas heat pre-cool, bedroom sleep cocoon, night path lighting, quiet doorbell, air refresh, storm comfort, and the no-visible-fuss reset.

Primary jurisdiction: turning the Las Jaras ethos into scenes, triggers, fallbacks, and tests that make the house feel loved and cared for.

Operating standard: if an automation adds anxiety, confusion, surveillance, or app dependence, Soma sends it back for redesign.
