The firmware allows the hardware to speak to any other controller that is able to support the new technology. This includes programs such as the SmartThings app by [Samsung](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartthings-2) and the upcoming features supported by Amazon Alexa and [Google Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eve-energy-outlet).
