A hub is configured to provide voice control without assistance from a remote system, which allows the hub to provide a user with the ability to control second devices in an environment by issuing voice commands, even when the hub is unable to communicate with the remote system over a wide area network (e.g., the Internet). The hub is also configured to execute rules without assistance from the remote system, which allows the hub to execute rules, even when the hub is unable to communicate with the remote system over a wide area network (e.g., the Internet).

This disclosure is directed to systems, methods, and devices related to providing the execution of multi-operation sequences based on a trigger occurring which may be a voice-controlled utterance or execution may be based on a trigger occurring and a condition occurring. In accordance with various principles disclosed herein, multi-operation sequences may be executed based on voice-controlled commands and the identification that a trigger has occurred. The voice-controlled electronic devices can be configured to communicate with, and to directly control the operation of, a wide array of other devices. These devices can include, without limitation, outlets that can be turned ON and OFF remotely such that anything plugged into them can be controlled, turning lights ON and OFF, setting the temperature of a network accessible thermostat, etc.
