Beyond Streaming - A Smart Home Hub

The box works as a smart home hub - it speaks Matter or Thread. Plugs and thermostats that support either protocol pair directly. Users control gear through the same television that shows movies. An ethernet jack sits on the back. A cable connection keeps video smooth but also commands reliable. The remote carries a Google Assistant button. Voice requests change channels or dim bulbs. At $74.99 the dongle streams 4K and manages an entire smart home network for a single low fee.
