OmniSmartHome: A Multimodal Reasoning Benchmark for Smart-Home Agents

Smart-home assistants are expected to handle diverse, realistic requests that arise in daily life. In such interactions, users often rely on the surrounding multimodal context-pointing at objects or referring to what they see or hear, leaving their requests underspecified in language alone. Existing smart-home benchmarks, however, express user requests solely through language, leaving context-dependent real-world requests underexplored. To bridge this gap, we introduce OmniSmartHome, a multimodal smart-home benchmark where each spoken request is paired with the surrounding visual and spatial-audio context, providing complementary cues to disambiguate underspecified requests. OmniSmartHome comprises 1,360 synthetic and 272 real-world episodes. We evaluate 16 omnimodal large language models (Omni-LLMs) and reveal that, while they perform strongly when speech alone sufficiently conveys the user's intent, performance drops substantially when resolving it requires reasoning over multimodal contextual cues. As a simple agent baseline, we provide PROME (PROcedural Memory for multimodal Evidence gathering), which equips agents with specialized audio-visual perception tools and procedural…
