Another common, and sometimes complementary, alternative to visual programming, is the many conversational assistants in the market, such as Google Assistant, Alexa, Siri and Cortana, that are capable of answering natural language questions and which recently gained the ability to interact with IoT devices (see [18] and [15] for a comparison of these tools). In this paper we presented a conversational interface prototype able to carry several different management tasks currently not supported by voice assistants, with capabilities that include: (1) Delayed, periodic and repeating actions, enabling users to perform queries such as "turn on the light in 5 min" and "turn on the light every day at 8 am"; (2) The usage of contextual awareness for more natural conversations, allowing interactions that last for multiple sentences and provide a more intuitive conversation, e.g.	./cache/cord-027120-w6agcu63.txt	./txt/cord-027120-w6agcu63.txt
