Abstract
Techniques for synchronizing device group data across different device control applications are described. A device group may include two or more smart home devices that may be controlled/supported by different device control applications. A user may set up device groups, including the same devices, in the different device control applications. A system may include a group synchronization service that synchronizes (e.g., merges) the multiple device groups across the different device control applications. The groups may be synchronized based on matching group names, matching devices included in the group, etc. After the device groups are synchronized, modifications made by the user to a device group in one device control application may be propagated to other device control applications.
