This new partnership with Ayla focuses on enhancing the customer experience with its smart home platform providing and integrated solutions from other brands such as Ring cameras, Yale locks, Honeywell thermostats, and Philips Hue light bulbs.
These devices offer quality, customer support, and most importantly, ongoing security updates giving customers peace of mind on the safety and privacy of their personal information.
“The partnership with Ayla will add further value to our smart home solutions and services with its flexible cloud architecture and ability to support a variety of devices.

The solution is made even easier to use with a smart living app developed by Ayla, which enables smart home device management with various partnered brands accessible from a single location and also enables the management of new and existing smart home devices. The solution is also compatible with the new Matter communication standard, ensuring support for a wide range of off-the-shelf smart home devices today and in the future.
With the smart living app, branded smart home device management can be done with a single app rather than going to each brand’s individual apps.
