Customisable shortcuts bar
The top shortcut bar on the home page can now be customised to user preferences to show information like shopping lists, routines and alarms. It can also show connection devices like how many lights are on and the temperature of various rooms. Since the feature is still rolling out, it might take some time to show up on your device.
