🪟 Streamlined Views for Smarter Home Control

The new Tablet Home Page provides quick access to all your devices, allowing you to quickly turn them on or off and check their status. These views have been built for both landscape and portrait views and are designed to fit your tablet’s display automatically.

If a device supports more than a simple on-off command, whether this be the brightness of a switch, the color of a light, or camera controls, you may be able to change the design of its card for quick access to these controls.
