in theory, but we also have the cloud to arbitrate. Like we have so many different methods in. You can use Matter, you can use Bluetooth LE sometimes, you can use Zigbee, but you can also- Rain famously runs on Z-Wave.

And so there's no limitation for us to connect these things because basically we can orchestrate to it. The team has thought through it from every way to Sunday, but they've also been working on it for 10 years. Yeah. It's phenomenal. It's probably one of the things I'm most excited about because you basically democratize the smart home. 100%.

Yes, it won't work unless you gave someone a button on their phone today. But you know, we just talked about this. You know where the job's better? Just say what you want. It's a much better job to be done. I tried to do it with the music demo yesterday. I'm not sure it landed this point of it, which is like, just plugged them in. The speakers were there. I'm going to move music to the speakers.

I'm going to do it nuanced. I think one time I said, move, I want to move the music. I want to hear the music. I want you to bring the music here. I use different language. So it wasn't continuous. That was all real working. Probably those little nuances get lost on the natural language as if I had a direct command. I didn't, it could have been any of those or play, which I try to stay away from.
