         9 . The computer system of  claim 8 , wherein the first user interface object is displayed at the second position of the first user interface and the second user interface object is displayed at the third position of the first user interface based on a third set of criteria that includes a criterion selected from the group consisting of: a current time of day, a usage pattern of a user associated with the computer system, and a usage pattern of another user associated with an external computer system that is authorized to control the one or more first accessories. 
     
     
         10 . The computer system of  claim 1 , wherein the first status indicator is displayed at a fourth position on the first user interface, and wherein displaying the first user interface including the first status indicator includes displaying, via the display generation component:
 a third user interface object at a fifth position on the first user interface, wherein the third user interface object corresponds to a user-selected accessory, and wherein the fifth position is below the fourth position.   
     
     
         11 . The computer system of  claim 1 , wherein the first status indicator is displayed at a sixth position on the first user interface, and wherein displaying the first user interface including the first status indicator includes displaying, via the display generation component:
