What was once considered a dream of the future has now turned into reality – thanks to Siri, Alexa, or the Google Assistant. But Amazon Alexa and the other language assistants are more than just voice-controlled light switches. For example, I created an entire multi-room music system using Amazon Echo components over the last year. Since Spotify is so convenient to use, I am finally listening to more music again, a real perk for me in everyday life.
I am especially excited by the possibility of integrating individual Smart Home gadgets into routines to automatically run smart functions. In the evening, I turn off the light in the living room through a voice command, my Nuki Smart Lock 2.0 locks the door, and the heating switches to night mode. On top of that, my window contacts and my indoor camera are activated.
