Abstract: Various arrangements are presented for performing a hierarchical application launch of an application. A requests to register one or more smart home devices can be received in association with a user account. The smart home devices can be mapped to the user account based on receiving the requests. An application that is mapped to the user account may be launched; the application can analyze the one or more smart home devices registered to the user account and a user interface hierarchy. Based on analyzing the one or more smart home devices registered to the user account and the user interface hierarchy, an initial launch interface can be selected and output for presentation.

Abstract: Various arrangements for integrating control of multiple cloud-based smart-home devices are presented. Registration information may be received for a first and second smart-home device that are controlled using different cloud-based server systems. A determination may be made that that the first smart-home device and the second smart-home device share a common function. The first smart-home device and the second smart-home device may be assigned to a common operating characteristic group based on the common function being shared by the first smart-home device and the second smart-home device. A control element may be provided that allows for control of smart-home devices with the common operating characteristic group. The control element may be used to control the common function.

Abstract: Various arrangements for using captured voice to generate a custom interface controller are presented. A vocal recording from a user may be captured in which a spoken command and multiple smart-home devices are indicated. One or more common functions that map to the multiple smart-home devices may be determined. A custom interface controller may be generated that controls the one or more common functions of each smart-home device of the multiple smart-home devices.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are provided that allow for access to a wireless computer network, such as a home or business network, via a communal device. The communal device retrieves network access information such as a PSK and provides a machine-readable code such as a QR code or bar code that automatically provides the access information to a user's device, thereby allowing access to the network with little or no user input required.
