Build Smart Device Control
What this is
Voice-controlled smart devices connect through ?page=partners and the hardware SDK system — the meeting point between this category's voice-engine focus and the Hardware Integration category's device-focused approach, relevant if you're building the voice-command logic a hardware partner's device will actually run.
How it works
Where Hardware Integration covers the manufacturer relationship and device-level SDK, this category is more about the voice command logic itself — what gets recognized, how intent maps to device actions — which then gets deployed onto whatever hardware a manufacturer integration targets.
Holding BOT for this path
Standard voice-category BOT holding requirement — if you're also doing the hardware-side integration work, that falls under the separate Hardware Integration category's own considerations, worth knowing if your work spans both.
