Although this feature is not yet enabled in Android 15 Developer Preview 2 and Android 14 QPR3 Beta 2.1, Rahman has already activated a demo of the feature.

According to screenshots, the "Home Control" screen saver will be compatible with existing screen savers, and users can access it through "Settings" > "Display" > "Screen savers".
