Abstract

Techniques for automatically combining devices into a single group of devices, and splitting devices into multiple groups of devices are described. A machine learning model may process device profile data, associated with devices registered to two different users, and determine the devices should be combined into a single group of devices. Such enables a user to control each of the devices, of the two different users, but providing user inputs to a single device of the group. The machine learning model may also process device profile data, associated with devices registered to a single user, and determine the devices should be split into two or more groups of devices. Such may decrease the likelihood that a system may inadvertently control a device not intended by a user.
