Emerson Smart Unveils Lineup of Voice-Controlled Home Appliances with Offline Capabilities
For those who prefer to maintain control over their personal data, Emerson Smart has introduced a line of voice-controlled home appliances that can be controlled using voice commands without the need for an internet connection. This innovative approach to smart home technology uses built-in processing power on each device, eliminating the need for cloud connectivity.
The Emerson Smart devices, which include smart plugs, fans, heaters, and even air fryers, can recognize and respond to voice commands when said in close proximity to the device. No app or Wi-Fi connection is required for setup or operation, making them ideal for those who prioritize data security and privacy.
One of the standout features of these devices is their programmability. For example, some smart plugs come with a button that can be pressed and held to change the wake word from "plug" to "plug two" or "plug three", allowing users to control individual appliances in the same room. This level of flexibility is not available on devices that rely on cloud connectivity.
During my visit to the CES show, I was able to interact with multiple Emerson Smart devices at once without any issues, demonstrating the seamless integration and performance of these innovative appliances.
However, while the design of these devices is clean and modern, some users may find them lacking in terms of style. On the other hand, new models such as air purifiers and fans are expected to improve on this aspect.
Currently, a limited selection of Emerson Smart products is available for purchase, but more devices are slated to go into production later this year. With their offline voice control capabilities, these appliances have the potential to bring smart home technology within reach for those who value data security and convenience above all else.
