"Perhaps you like the idea of controlling your home appliances with your voice, but aren't super keen on a data center processing recordings of you. Fair enough. The trade-off for most smart home conveniences is relinquishing at least some of your privacy. Today at CES, I saw a line of voice-controlled home appliances from Emerson Smart that adjust power and setting via voice commands. But commands are recognized on the devices themselves, not carried through Wi-Fi and processed elsewhere."
"A bit of built-in programing on the air fryers allow them to understand commands for 100 cooking presets, so saying things like, "reheat this pizza" or "cook these frozen french fries" will set the correct mode, time and temp. Of course you can also just say, "cook at 350 degrees for 10 minutes" and it'll comply. Most of the commands for the other items are pretty simple but allow you to do things like set a timer, turn on oscillation and set intensity speeds."
Emerson Smart offers voice-controlled smart plugs, fans, heaters and air fryers that recognize commands on-device without requiring Wi‑Fi or an app for setup. Devices respond to simple wake phrases such as "hey Emerson" or device-specific triggers and some models include both a microphone and a speaker to give audible responses. Air fryers include built-in programming for about 100 cooking presets, enabling natural commands like "reheat this pizza" or manual temperature and time instructions. Other products support timers, oscillation, and adjustable intensity speeds. Select devices allow minor programmability, such as cycling wake-word labels on smart plugs to control multiple units individually.
