Comcast Adds Third-Party Integration to Xfinity Home

Comcast's Xfinity Home customers can now use the Xfinity Home app to control a variety of third-party devices like August's Smart Lock, Chamberlain's MyQ garage controller, Lutron's Caseta wireless light controller and dimmer, and Nest Learning's thermostat. The aim is a " 'total home' experience" instead of multiple smart home apps, the company said in a blog Friday announcing the move. Comcast said eventually customers will be able to control such devices through their TVs using the X1 platform and voice remote.
