A network-free smart home? The Emerson brand is doing just that (without a hub!)
"Emerson, an American electronics company, just launched a new line of smart home devices that does something different. The SmartVoice line of products enables you to control your Emerson devices with just your voice, eliminating the need for Wi-Fi or a hub. These products feature on-device voice control, which includes a built-in microphone and speaker that respond to a wake word and a preset list of prompts."
"The new lineup of Emerson SmartVoice devices includes in 30-, 40-, and 42-inch heights, in 24- and 32-inch, and power strips, and in 5.3- and 10-quart capacities. The air fryers feature over 1,000 voice commands, including 100 cooking presets; the rest of the devices can understand over 40 voice commands."
Emerson launched SmartVoice, a line of smart home products with on-device voice control that operates without Wi‑Fi or a hub. Each device includes a built‑in microphone, buttons, and a speaker that respond to a wake word and a preset list of prompts. The lineup includes fans, lamps, space heaters, power strips, and air fryers in multiple sizes and capacities. Air fryers support over 1,000 voice commands including 100 cooking presets; other devices recognize over 40 commands. On-device voice reduces the need for companion apps, hubs, or heavy Wi‑Fi device loads and replaces small mislaid remotes.
