Nice has announced its OS 8.9 over-the-air update is now available through Management Cloud. Designed to unify connected devices and deliver a visually elegant, fully customizable user experience, Nice OS 8.9 offers enhanced security, seamless integration with third-party devices, and greater convenience for homeowners and integrators alike.
Nice OS 8.9 offers a comprehensive update, allowing homeowners to tailor their smart home experience with customizable themes, settings, and geofencing features. Users can now manage their home’s media, climate, lighting, and security with an intuitive system that supports whole-home control with new themes and user experience for all interfaces, including the HR40 remote control. For a fully personalized touch, new location capabilities automatically sync the nearest touch panel with the user’s location, adapting the smart home environment in real time.
Enhanced Performance and Integration
Building on the Nice legacy of powerful home automation, OS 8.9 is faster, more reliable, and integrates with a wider range of third-party devices, including Apple TV, Roku, Tesla Powerwall, and Philips Hue.
