Looks like it won't just be integration, they'll have a usb dongle for the required radios. Already have a hub myself, but this is pretty cool for those that don't own ST yet.
AI in the Home In the coming months, SHIELD TV will be expanded with a series of AI capabilities that transforms home entertainment:
First hands-free Google Assistant integration on TV. Google has optimized the Assistant experience on TV by having the home's largest screen show visual answers in addition to an audio reply. Use voice commands to replace clicking a remote for finding content, pausing, fast-forwarding or rewinding. Plus, Google Assistant can help better find content and answer questions.
SmartThings Hub technology integration, instantly turning SHIELD into a smart home hub that can connect to hundreds of smart home devices.
NVIDIA SPOT™, an AI mic accessory that makes SHIELD the central backbone of the AI home, extending intelligent control throughout the house.
can someone ELI5 what this is exactly? just ordered my first ever Shield so am incredibly excited
Do you think I'll be able to use my Amazon Echo to control the shield via Smartthings? Or are they going hard in with Google Assistant
Was it hidden if they talked about it and showed the SmartThings logo on the big screen behind him?
