Xfinity Creates Voice-Based Light Show Integration for March Madness

Xfinity created voice commands and smart bulb integration for the X1 remote tied to the NCAA Men’s Basketball tournament, it said Wednesday. Beginning Thursday, Xfinity customers with the X1 voice remote and either xFi internet or Xfinity home service can see lights mapped to the 68 teams in the tournament. Integration works with color-emitting bulbs from Lifx or Philips Hue, priced under $50 each, the Comcast business said.
