It’s more of the issue of the maturation of home automation versus generational. The future is voice, motion, occupancy and fencing. The idea is to automate systems so that a separate device ( remote, app, etc) is unnecessary for many common things. This circumvents remotes, switches, button presses etc.
Walk into a room and the lights come on, the lights stay on as long as you’re in the room, temperature adjusts, potentially your music plays and any additional commands can be issued while you’re shaving (voice) etc. The fencing piece adds that the system knows it’s you versus another household member.
Hate to blow up what little we know at the moment, but it appears that the upcoming series of remotes will incorporate voice at least for AV to start.
