“This is better and more polished than the Google Home devices controls on Android TV.” — David F.
“Just installed it and so far, so good. This was one key feature missing since I left Google home, but now I can control my home from my couch, no phone needed. I just need to be able to turn off a few lights and adjust a fan without needing to get up, speak, or touch my phone. I can do this now, so awesome.” — A A.
