The basic Brilliant panel features a touchscreen, camera and microphone. This allows users to see who's at the door via the Ring doorbell (and unlock it, if you like what you see), or start a video intercom conversation with someone in another room (if you have two Brilliant switches, that is). You can also ask Alexa to do things via Brilliant, and the company promises Google Assistant compatibility is on its way. Brilliant connects to Sonos speakers for now, though developers plan to add standard Bluetooth connectivity down the line.
