Reading Time

Reading Time

Trigger on "reading time", "read a bedtime story", "読書モード", "寝る前に本読む". Distinct from bedtime-routine (which ends the day) and from study-mode (which is focused work): reading-time is quiet accompaniment to paper or an e-reader.

Default flow

1. Lights: set the nearest reading light to 50 % warm white via execute_command {device_type:"light", action:"set_brightness", parameters:{brightness:50}}. If a color_temp is available on the bulb, drop it to ~2700K warm.
2. Pause media: any media_player that's playing → execute_command action:"media_pause". Don't restart music even if the user had classical on — reading is a quiet mode.
3. Silence notifications once: clear_notifications.
4. Volume: drop to 10 so if the agent does speak (e.g. if the user says "pause" mid-story) it's not jarring.
5. Optional timer: if the user says "for 30 minutes" / "1時間", call set_timer with that length. When it fires the agent should speak gently: "Reading time's up — break now or keep going."
6. No broadcast — reading is personal; don't wake other rooms with announcements.

Bedtime-story variant

If triggered as "read a bedtime story" / "絵本を読んで" and the user is a child (context cue: short utterances, phrasing like "read to me"), offer to use retrieve_document over any RAG-ingested kids' books. Don't recite a long document without confirming — "I can read from 'The Gruffalo'. Want that?"

End

Trigger on "reading time over", "done reading", "読書終わり":

1. Restore volume to 50.
2. Restore lights to 80 % warm.
3. Speak: "Hope it was a good one."
