These features make managing smart home devices more straightforward, with the ability to control lights, switches, and plugs for quicker response times.
The devices support household organization through customizable widgets that display critical information such as shopping lists, to-do lists, and family calendars. Users can also access sports scores, news headlines, and stock prices directly on the home screen.
