This screensaver turns your Pixel into a smart home control panel


An easier way to control your smart home.

The interactive screensaver does away with the need to unlock your device or tap a shortcut button, making controlling your connected lights or cameras much quicker. It works with the Google Home app and displays your Favorites tab, which can be customized to show your most used devices, such as individual smart lights, thermostats, and security camera feeds. I tested it on Google’s Pixel Tablet and could tap the controls directly to turn off the light or view a live camera feed.
