Voice Assistants are at the tip of what smart home technology has on offer!
The capabilities of voice assistants are continuously expanding. The experience of using a Smart Voice Assistant has reached a whole new level. So, are you really using your device to its full potential? A Star Wars theme cannot be the end (while it is a great deal of fun!). There’s much more to discover and explore.
Note down these points to reap the true potential of your Alexa, Siri or any other voice assistant!
1) Play music on multiple Echoes
One of Alexa’s latest options allows music to be played on Echoes in more than one room. One can simply go to the ‘smart home’ section in the app > go to the ‘groups’ tab and select ‘add group.’ Later, select ‘Amazon Multi-Room Music Group’ and choose the devices you want in the group. These devices can even be named, say ‘Living Room’ or ‘Kitchen’, to widen the ease and comfort of playing your favourite music!
2) Set up Alexa for different family members
Imagine the relief of not having any other family member disturb your music playlist or audiobooks. Use Amazon’s Household Profiles to link Prime accounts and set up individual personal access to Alexa for each family member.
3) Add skills
Though Alexa has tons of inbuilt capabilities already set up, consider the option of ‘add skills’ as the cherry on the cake! The user can ‘add skills’ or access any existing ones by searching on the Alexa app. For example, every device or hub has its skill. So, all you need to do is add them to Alexa as you connect any new device to your smart home.
4) Control your car
Functions available on compatible Voice Assistant models include starting the car, adjusting the temperature inside, asking for directions, checking the fuel level, adjusting door locks, raising or lowering windows and much more. Isn’t it amazing to switch on the Mercs light as you move out of the home? Time to look for car brands that support Alexa, just to make life a li’l easier!
5) Set up routines
How hectic to command Alexa every time you want to turn lights off or lower the smart thermostat just before going to bed. Instead, bundle some actions and create a routine set grouped together and triggered when you say specific codes. For example, ‘Good night Alexa’, ‘Alexa, I am home’ or ‘Bye Alexa’.
6) Have fun and beyond
Last but not the least. Alexa is programmed with a myriad of games and pop-culture Easter eggs you can enjoy. From Star Wars quotes and Harry Potter spells to references to HAL 9000, the intelligent computer program from 2001: A Space Odyssey, it has answers to everything your mind wants to know more about. Tip: say, ‘Alexa, open the pod bay doors!’ or ‘Alexa, mischief managed’ to see what happens!
