Smart Devices and Gaming Consoles
So-called smart devices such as Google Home, Amazon Alexa, smart lighting systems, Sonos stereo equipment, and gaming consoles such as Xboxes or Playstations, will lose some functionality while on the Reed network. CUS can provide guidance on registering the device to the network but cannot guarantee that the device will retain all functionality or features or help with troubleshooting these devices after the initial connection.
