Why Can’t I Control Everything from Anywhere?

I would love to be able to simply go to the next song or skip ten seconds in a podcast controlled by any speaker, phone, or device.

This would mean you could control any Matter speaker from any Matter-supported ecosystem app.

This seems like a future that seems too good to be true because I’m not sure that platforms are going to benefit from it.

What benefit is it to Apple to allow for an Android e-ink device to change the song on a Sonos speaker system that it’s playing throughout my house?

We can wish that this could happen! While I have an internet-connected washer and dryer, it would be great to say, “Hey dryer, alert my kid when the dryer is finished.” Then my kid gets an alert on their speaker that it’s time to get to folding.

Matter speakers are coming to stream music and tell you when the wash is done - The Verge
