Management by means of the voice assistant Alice

December 13, 2019 The research and development center of GS Labs announced expansion of functionality of the smart home system for subscribers of the Tricolour, having implemented an ability to manage by means of the voice assistant Alice from Yandex.

As noted in GS Labs, device management of the smart home using the voice assistant can be exercised through " Yandex.station " or "smart columns" supporting Alice and also through mobile applications of Yandex. The TV-receiver should be connected to the Internet and have connection to a cloud service of the smart home.

To start use registration of Alice in settings of mobile application "A tricolor the Smart house" or in the application on the receiver using a special phrase is necessary. Control of the voice assistant is exercised in the specialized mode. For activation of this skill it is enough to tell Alice one of commands: "start skill the Tricolour" or "ask the Tricolour to turn on the light". Further for inclusion or switching off of the device connected to the smart home it will be necessary to say the corresponding voice command: "turn on the light in kitchen", "turn off the whole world in the house", etc.
