      Depends how those are connected. But check out Home Assistant.

      I’ve got home assistant running on a linux machine that lets me control/monitor my smart devices [0] from my mac, windows, linux, and android phone.

      [0] list of smart devices:

      • 5 Lifx lights (Full functionality)
      • 1 Wemo device (toggles a dumb strip light i have around a mirror.)
      • 3 Google home devices (the big, small, and medium speakers)
      • 2 Android TV’s (Nvidia Shields)
      • Logs Temperature & humidity (full functionality and doesn’t even require creating an account or using an app.)
      • Roomba (full functionality)
      • graphs my server’s cpu, disk, ram, etc
      • graphs firewall traffic.
      • graphs minecraft server latency + player count.
      • Integrates with my Unifi controller and two Wi-Fi access points.
