Technology media Android Authority published a blog post today (October 11), reporting that Google has added a new screen saver called “Home Controls” to Android 15. You can turn your phone/tablet into a smart home console.
This feature is not limited to the Pixel or Google Home app, but works on all Android 15 devices that support the screensaver, which allows users to quickly access and control a variety of connected smart homes.
The “Home Controls” screensaver was introduced in June with the Android 15 Beta 3 update test, and users can find the relevant options in Settings > Display & Touch > Screensaver on Pixel phones, and there may be some differences in the path of other phones.
The “Home Controls” screensaver not only supports the Google Home app, but also works with the Home Assistant
