Developers also can design custom features with IFTTT and Stringify.

There's also built in support for Amazon's Alexa offering and the Stringify protocol.

Beyond the app, the company also has plans to make the Swidget compatible with Google Home, Nest, IFTTT, and Stringify.

At the time of the acquisition, Stringify was already working with over 500 products, so this just adds a few more.

In addition to the Comcast integrations, Stringify also now works with Lutron Caseta dimmers and switches, Serena shades, and Carrier's line of Cor WiFi thermostats.

Comcast had announced at CES 2018 that it would soon bring the Stringify technology to its own services, like X1 TV and xFi Wi-Fi.
|
|
With today's relaunch of Stringify, the app is now integrated with Comcast's TV platform, X1, as well as its newer personalized home Wi-Fi offering, xFi.
|
|
Today, in its first major update post-acquisition, Stringify is relaunching its app with a new look-and-feel, deeper integrations with Comcast's services, as well as support for new hardware devices.

Stringify, an IFTTT-like app that lets consumers control and automate their smart home devices, was quietly snatched up by Comcast last fall to join the company's larger efforts involving the smart home and the Internet of Things.

|
"What we love about the Stringify app is that it has a tremendous community of smart, devoted users who are on the leading edge of automation technology," said Sri Solur, Senior Vice President, Xfinity Home and IoT Products, Comcast Cable.
