Smart speakers and displays aren't the only way to control the best smart home devices. All of the major smart home platforms including Amazon (Alexa), Apple (HomeKit), and Google offer smart 4K streaming devices for your TV. With streaming boxes like the excellent Apple TV 4K and Fire Stick 4K Max, you can turn the biggest screen in your home into a place to watch TV, play AAA video games, and communicate with others.
Each streamer comes with a controller but can also be used with an app or voice commands. These devices turn your TV into a smart home dashboard to check security feeds and control devices like lighting or your smart thermostat.
