    Abstract: A method for generating a user interface with a user interface device in a distributed automation system includes receiving a service message from a home automation device in the distributed automation system, identifying a state of a dialog manager of the user interface device in response to receiving the service message, and generating a natural language output message based at least in part on a device identifier parameter in the service message and a plurality of natural language templates stored in the memory in response to the dialog manager being in an idle state. The method further includes storing the service message in a priority queue in the memory based on a priority level parameter corresponding to the service message in response to the dialog manager being in an active state.
