With Android 12, the device control panel’s no longer part of the power button menu. It takes an extra step and a teensy bit of preparation to reach it.

Home Assistant Device Control is rolling out to Android 14 devices, and it is bringing a control dashboard for easy controls.

Using a new option in Android 14, Home Assistant will offer a new dashboard panel that lets you control devices while the phone is locked.

The best way to control your Android phone from a Windows 11 PC just got even better, as Phone Link is now integrated into the start menu.

Your phone's Quick Settings panel is yours to control — if you have the right tools to do it.
