How Do Voice Controlled Thermostats Work?
Most HVAC manufacturers today have begun offering voice controlled thermostats in t heir product lines. Depending on the model, these thermostats are able to function with smart home hubs or without them.
Voice controlled thermostats require you to give simple commands to do things like turn the system on or off, adjust the temperature, and more. For this, you only have to be anywhere within normal voice range. For example, you can ask the smart thermostat to increase or decrease the temperature to a particular preference, or for more intuitive thermostats, you can simply ask it to make the room warmer or cooler. You are also able to turn the system on and off using your voice. Voice controlled thermostats typically also feature a touch screen that allows you to have full manual control.
Many voice controlled thermostats are also able to connect to the home’s Wi-Fi. This allows you remote access through a mobile app to be able to control the voice controlled thermostat while you are away from home.
Smart Home Hubs and Voice Controlled Thermostats
Thanks to technology, some voice controlled thermostats can also be linked to smart home hubs. Systems such as the Amazon Echo and Google Home have particularly made this easier. These systems use an Application Program Interface (API) that make it easier for different smart home devices to communicate using a central hub. Voice controlled thermostats can be linked to the system that is also used for lighting the house, security alarms, locks, and cameras.
These systems use a Cloud-based voice recognition software. When you use the voice controlled thermostats, the software is able to interpret the voice command and relay the same to the HVAC system. All in all, the technology behind voice controlled thermostats and the smart home hubs make it much easier to control the HVAC system without the inconvenience of manual control.
