What is a Voice-Controlled Home?

A voice-controlled home uses smart voice assistants like Alexa, Google Assistant, or Siri to help you control everything from lights to locks—just by speaking. It’s more than a cool feature—it’s an efficient way to manage your day-to-day life hands-free.

Seniors, children, or visually impaired users can interact with home systems easily.

4. Integration with Other Smart Devices

Compatible with smart TVs, security systems, lights, and even kitchen appliances.
