Voice Control: Amazon Echo (Alexa) and More
After a hard day, you are sitting in an armchair and would like to rest undisturbed. All you are missing for complete satisfaction is pleasant music or an interesting TV show. Thanks to voice assistants like Amazon Echo ("Alexa"), just say your wish. With an articulated command, you turn on the player, just as you turn off or dim the lights. Voice control can be even more comfortable than a manual remote control.
Examples of use
Turning on lights
At a moment when you have both hands full of shopping bags or are in the middle of preparing a Sunday cake and don't want to get the switch dirty.
Turning music volume up or down
Just as easily as you choose a specific song from the comfort of your armchair or sofa.
Opening the entrance gate
From the comfort of your armchair after verifying the visitor's identity on the tablet display.
Voice TV control
Quickly switch to the chosen channel without having to remember under which numbers individual programs are hidden on the manual remote.
Amazon Echo (Alexa), Apple HomePod (Siri) and Others
For voice control, we use home assistants such as Google Home, Amazon Echo ("Alexa"), or Apple HomePod ("Siri"). These assistants master advanced speech functions, and you can chat with them almost like with humans. For controlling your household via voice, it is sufficient to set simple names for individual components, e.g., "music light" or "kitchen lights," and then combine arbitrary commands for the home assistant. "Hey Siri, turn off all lights in the kitchen, dinner is ready."
How does it work?
Simply tell the home assistants what you desire. And they pass the command to the specific device – be it lights or the music player.
