The software operates with local control and does not require cloud services, allowing it to function independently of specific Internet of things (IoT) ecosystems. The user interface can be accessed through web browsers and mobile apps for Android and iOS. Voice commands are supported via virtual assistants including Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri, and Home Assistant's built-in Assist local voice assistant. Wikipedia →
