In wall smart home control6/24/2023 Since that would add a lot of complexity, Lyle admitted it has been purposefully left out of the product for now but said it's on the long-term roadmap. The one big thing the AtmosControl does not work with is Other smart home product integrations include doorbells, window treatments, ceiling fans, For example, they have done an integration with a high-end Bosch connected coffee machine that allows you to start brewing a cappuccino or an espresso from the AtmosControl. The Atmos team has also done a few custom integrations that perhaps show some of the broader long-term potential of the product. But it should be noted that Google Home is trying to do a similar trick to simplify commands for lights. On other systems, you have to say the name of the room - that's where the system sometimes breaks down since you're adding more words and more complexity to the voice command. With AtmosControl, anywhere you put one the panels, you can walk into a room and say " Hey Atmos, turn on lights" and it will automatically detect what room you're in and turn the lights on. While AtmosControl integrates a lot of different products, the Atmos team has especially focused on improving the in-home user interface for two things: lighting and music.įor lighting, once you group your lights into different rooms then you can name them like you do on other systems. But it's not quite as comprehensive as Atmos in terms of the devices it can control. The most similar product to AtmosControl is probably the Brilliant Switch, a $300 smart light switch that uses a touch interface to control other smart devices and integrates with Alexa, Google Home and Siri. In the past, CNET and others have suggested that you could always mount a tablet on your wall to control your smart home gear, but you'd still have to deal with all the individual apps with different controls and functions. Leviton has tried something similar with the OmniTouch 7 Touchscreen, but it doesn't have an user interface that's nearly as polished as AtmosControl and hasn't been well received.
