Smart remote, socket, lamp and mini station powered by voice and mobile app

Back in 2017, Yandex offered its first smart assistant, Alice. Over time, new, useful devices for the home began to appear. I met a line of smart devices in one store and was surprised at such a variety. I want to show you how good these devices are and whether they are worth buying.

The basis of the "smart home" is a smart speaker with a built-in voice virtual assistant "Alice". The assistant knows how to communicate, answer questions, joke, search the Internet, tell about the weather, traffic jams, etc.

In addition to the column, there is also smart lamps, sockets, voice control. Devices from third-party manufacturers (Xiaomi, Samsung, Philips, Redmond, LG) can also work with them. But first things first.

Yandex station can manage and monitor the operation of devices, send all the information to your phone. Interaction between devices takes place via WiFi or Bluetooth. Alisa perfectly understands Russian speech, in contrast to foreign counterparts.

Mini station

Found a smart mini station with 3 characters from the cartoon "Frozen". In our store it costs 6590 rubles.

I wanted to buy, but I read reviews on the Internet and changed my mind. There is one drawback: the toys included are not interactive. They say that it is better to buy separately (interactive toys and mini speaker), it will come out cheaper.

But most buyers are not confused by this. There are no arguments about the column, everything works fine, and he even hears a whisper.

Buy as a gift for children. Alice tells fairy tales, sings songs, plays, answers questions. There are 3 unique stories to play with each character. In addition, the mini-speaker can control various devices.

Smart lamp

Smart bulbs are on the shelf next to them. The lamp is controlled by voice!

You can dim or brighten the light without getting out of bed. The lamp also changes color (green, yellow, blue, red and other shades).

Just tell Alice: Make the light red or light yellow, or just a little dimmer. At your voice request, everything will be executed instantly.

The 9W LED lamp is controlled via WiFi. Service life up to 25 thousand. hours. E27 base. For a lamp, you need to have: a smart speaker, a telephone. Today it costs 1390 rubles in our store.

Smart socket

Another addition to the smart home. At your voice command, it turns off, turns on appliances (lamps, heater, fan, iron, kettle, etc.).

To control, you need to have a speaker or an application in your phone with Alice. Price RUB 1190

I also liked the smart remote.

Remote controller

You can just say: "Alice, turn on the TV or turn up the temperature on the air conditioner." Assistant Alice will do everything on command. To control, you need to have a column or an application in your mobile phone with Alice. It costs the same as a smart Yandex light bulb.

Smart appliances will make life more comfortable, interesting and convenient.

Fantastic movies come to life. Voice can now be controlled from any room and even from a distance by different devices. Do you already have smart devices? How do you like their work?
