Brilliant launches new smart home control panels

Smart home controller maker Brilliant NextGen has launched its second generation of touchscreen panels that replace traditional light switches. 

The new hardware, which looks like the previous model, has a 4x higher resolution screen and dual-band WiFi (2.4GHz and 5GHz) to help curb interference. 

It also has a more powerful processor that Brilliant says is ready “for the next phase of AI-powered smart home evolution,” although the company has not said when it plans to launch such features or what it could do.
