Control4 Gets Amazon Alexa Voice Control

  • PDF

Control4 AlexaControl4 announces integration with Amazon's Alexa and its various enabled devices, including the Echo Dot, Tap and Fire TV, through a Smart Home Skill providing customers with simple and intuitive voice controls.

The Control4 skill for Alexa allows for a variety of preset scenes-- for instance a "Cooking" scene can raise the lights in the kitchen, lower the shades and turn on the TV to a preset food channel with a single voice command. In addition, a verbal "Alexa, turn off house" command can shut down the house by turning off all lights, lowering the thermostat, locking the doors and arming the security system.

The company says connecting an Alexa-enabled device to a Control4 home is simple enough. To prepare their house for voice control one simply needs to enable the Control4 Smart Home Skill inside the Alexa app, connect with Control4, and discover devices and scenes.

The Smart Home Skill is available now for the entire Alexa device family. It requires a Control4 4Sight subscription as well as an Alexa-enabled device.
