5 reasons for the integration of Alexa in our home automation

There are many brands that are investing heavily in voice control for their applications. With home automation being one of the most innovative areas at Censys, we integrate the virtual assistant Alexa, from the giant Amazon, into our projects, for these five important reasons:

1. Comfort in the use of residential control
Although Alexa can make improvements in any type of project, the technology especially focuses on domotic systems of our home that are increasingly able to be controlled by voice. Therefore, the greatest advances will occur precisely in this field.

2. Help for people with mobility problems
One of our biggest motivations. Each day more services are being developed to help people with disabilities or reduced mobility feeling – and being – more independent. Having Alexa at home is the perfect tool to improve their independency and well-being.

3. Hands-free
At first this doesn’t seem to be a great advantage, but there is a great range of improvements that you tend not to think about at first . From efficiency in household tasks, through the comfort of controlling security systems by voice and being able to contact assistance in case of an accident at home or a medical emergency.

4. No need for speech recognition
This is another of the main reasons to choose Alexa. In the past, voice recognition systems for home automation systems where rather expensive. But due to the work of Amazon in the development of its technology you can have an intelligent speaker for a very economic price and without having to invest in the installation of a device that recognizes our voice in the home automation system.

5. Absolute control of the entire house
The last reason is related to the perfect comfort that Alexa gives us. Through our application in the RTI processor and a simple installation in the Wi-Fi network, we will achieve the integration of different residential control systems, practically without limits. From the lighting, to the pool, passing through sound, blinds, air conditioning, etc…
