A system enabling an assistant device communicating with a plurality of appliances using a local network protocol to communicate with a second device outside the local network protocol, the system comprising:

• the assistant device communicating with the plurality of appliances using the local network protocol;
• the second device configured to communicate using an Internet protocol and to communicate with the assistant device using the local network protocol when the second device is connected to a local network associated with the local network protocol, the second device configured by first executable instructions to:
• determine that a second device display cannot present an adaptable user interface above a predefined minimum readability requirement defining a set of criteria regarding the adaptable user interface that must be satisfied before the adaptable user interface can be displayed;
• separate the adaptable user interface into a first page and a second page, wherein the first page and the second page satisfy the predefined minimum readability requirement;
• present the first page on a second device display along with an indication of an existence of the second page;
• one or more processors configured by second executable instructions to communicate with the assistant device and the second device, the second executable instructions comprising instructions to:
• receive a request to create a communication channel between the assistant device and the second device;
• upon receiving the request, create the communication channel by receiving an Internet packet formatted according to the Internet protocol used to communicate between Internet connected devices, the Internet packet comprising a local network packet formatted according to the local network protocol;
• and
• forward the Internet packet without analyzing the local network packet.
