A method including determining an occupancy state of a building relating to a user, detecting a condition of a component of the security and/or automation system associated with the home, displaying, based at least in part on the determined occupancy state of the user and the detected condition of the component, a message related to the user on a graphical conversational user interface ('G-CUI'). The message include a request for permission from the user to initiate a change associated with the component of the system. The method may include receiving, via the G-CUI, a response from the user including an instruction whether to grant permission to initiate the change based at least in part on the displaying, and generating a rule associated with the component and a future occupancy state of the home relating to the user based at least in part on the received response.
