SMART HOME CONTROLS
The Power of Voice Controlling Your Home
When we think of the home of the future, instantly we think of controlling it all with our voices. That future is now a reality. The fact remains; however, that voice recognition is more convenient than typing or hitting buttons on a remote control, smart phone or computer.
Recently, Consumer Technology Association’s chief economist, Shawn DuBravac stated that in 2017, the word error rate in voice recognition technology will have decreased from 23 percent in 2013 to zero. “The next computer interface is voice,” he added. DuBravac also pointed to the increasing focus on hub devices, like Amazon Echo, for vocal computing.
Amazon is putting its Alexa voice assistant technology in its Echo and Echo Dot. While these types of devices and technology are very mainstream, home automation companies have been using voice control for some time. Now they are using some of these more mainstream technologies in their own products instead of using proprietary ones. One well-known home automation manufacturer just announced integration with Amazon Echo providing homeowners with the convenience of whole-home automation through simple and intuitive voice commands that can activate smart home scenes and control individual devices.
In fact, most home automation manufacturers have incorporated voice activation into their products in one way or another, allowing you to speak different, simple commands. Say, “ALEXA, turn on patio fans, ALEXA turn on kitchen lights, ALEXA lock the front door, Alexa close the garage door” in addition to other customized commands. All of this is great news for the homeowner who can expect accurate speech recognition technology with voice control integrated into nearly every aspect of your smart-home technology. Connect with smart-home technology. It’s smart, easy, convenient and can save you time and money.
