The Home Link is a USB-C device built on the ESP32-C5 chip. It sits on your network and acts as a bridge, so Muse can reach devices you already own. Setup is straightforward: plug it into a power source, pair it via Bluetooth LE in the Muse app, and choose the Wi-Fi network it joins. On a normal Tuesday, a dongle that turns on your lights or controls your TV is the entire appeal. The fine print is the part that tells you what the promise will not cover. That line draws a real divide between two models.
