In such a situation, check your phone so that you can turn the temperature down to a level that feels comfortable to you and dim the light from the screen without removing the device. Since Android 15 is AI-generated and features “Home Controls,” this is one of its amazing screensaver capabilities. This new and unique feature puts those fancy smart home components exactly where your fingers are and, all the time, without your phone ever being off.
While it’s exciting to speak commands through voice assistants and app-dedicated interfaces, the Home Control Screensaver brings a much simpler approach. This removes the prompt to unlock your phone and launch apps. This type of customization is appropriate for settings that are adjusted frequently, such as lighting or temperature.
At the moment, these things are available on the latest Google Home screensaver. This is a time display with elements of your favorite home appliances. Interestingly, it is working even without installing the Google Home app, so it can be supported by other smart home platforms as well. Still, the capabilities of the current version are limited to controlling Google Home across different devices.
This is great validation for Pixel users but an absolute bonus for the entire Android ecosystem. All development, including the Home Controls screensaver source code, is put into system files and thus can be used in the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). This means that it’s possible for even someone using a non-Pixel device on Android 15 to gain access to it, resulting in its appeal expanding to a wider range.
Home Controls screensaver provides a glimpse of the concept of smart home integration with the features of the digital age. The Android 15 framework uses the screen saver synchronization that is familiar to Android users and thus allows an inbuilt easy way to manage your connected home devices. With wide compatibility, this specific feature has great potential to bring some brief technical issues in streaming for millions of users.
