There is no sector in which technology has not burst with its magic, modifying our way of living and, sometimes, even thinking. An example of this is home automation, a system that allows us to automate functions in the home , turning our home into what many have coined as a “smart home.” It is a matter of time before the majority of new constructions are Smart Homes, in fact, construction companies like Pryconsa have already announced that starting in 2019 all the homes they build will be controlled remotely. Passivhaus - Requirements for choosing windows A few years ago, living in a smart home in which the refrigerator would do our shopping, or in which we could control the locks from our mobile phone, seemed futuristic or impossible to us. Or, at best, it would only be accessible to a few (those who could afford it financially). However, the speed at which technology has advanced has meant that today anyone can test closely what it means to have a Smart home. How can we have a “smart” home? In Reto KÖMMERLING we are going to talk about the main intelligent assistants for the home , products that allow you to enter the world of home automation without having to make a large investment.
It is not the same as a home that has home automation integrated from the construction process, but they allow us to perform a multitude of functions. New call to action Google Home y Alexa The most marketed and affordable voice assistants to date are Google Home and Amazon Alexa. Although both have existed for a few years, their launch in Spain occurred in 2018 , becoming the best option to automate certain functions in the home. They are quite similar in terms of their operation, but there are differences between the two.

Depending on the use we are going to make of it or how large the space in which we are going to use it, we will choose one or the other. For its part, Amazon has four different models : Echo Doe automation google home Photo: Google Home When choosing one brand or another, it is best to look at the devices or platforms that each of them are compatible with , and based on that, choose the one that best suits our needs.
For example, if we are regular Amazon buyers we will choose Alexa, but if we spend hours in front of YouTube we will choose Google Home. But then what can we do with them? The options are quite wide, and as their popularity increases, the list of companies or applications that are compatible with these assistants is also expanding . The simplest functions that can be performed with both Google Home and Amazon Alexa are setting alarms, creating reminders, making lists (such as shopping), asking about famous people or places, knowing the weather forecast, etc. One of the strong points is multimedia , since both can connect to services such as Spotify (you can ask for a song and it will automatically play it) or Netflix , among others. It is true that to do this we will need to have an account on these platforms and, in some other cases, another device (such as Chromecast or Fire TV). And finally, there is the direct relationship that exists between these voice assistants and home automation. Most companies that have developed smart home products have made them compatible with Google Home, Amazon Alexa, or both. An example of this could be seen in the last edition of VETECO , at the KÖMMERLING stand, which had several windows and blinds that were controlled through the use of Alexa.
