Shelly Group, a provider of IoT and smart building solutions announced it is bringing its Shelly Smart Control App to select Audi models, allowing customers to use a user-friendly range of smart home automation functions to interface with their vehicle’s infotainment system.
“We are thrilled to become part of Audi’s highly attractive digital ecosystem. As is our ambition, users are at the heart of the new functions and application areas of our app,” said Dimitar Dimitrov, CEO and founder of Shelly Group. “With the native integration of our Shelly Smart Control app, we are further expanding our customer focus and technology leadership. We are confident that Audi customers will enjoy the seamless integration of smart home in a customizable infotainment system.”
