When my family and I moved into a new home last year, I took it as an opportunity to steer us towards a primary smart home platform. Yes, as Android Authority‘s resident smart home guru, I need to have gear to test all the major ecosystems — it’s just that life is easier if there’s one you can count on for everyday tasks like turning the lights on.

And top of that, it doesn’t play favorites between Android or iOS. Even Google Home naturally favors Android, though it is perfectly usable with iOS.

Credit: Adamya Sharma / Android Authority TW Electronics revealed a new Google TV remote at CES 2023. The remote has technology that uses light to keep the battery charged. There’s no launch date yet for the remote. It’s a pain when the batteries in your remote die, especially if you don’t have an extra pair to replace them with. But a future Google TV remote may make that a problem of the past with its self-charging battery. At CES 2023, TW Electronics revealed a new Google TV remote. While it uses the same button layout as the default Google TV remote, there’s something that makes it a little different from other Google TV remotes. from Android Authority https://ift.tt/SWK8rsi via IFTTT
