How cool would it be to just say \u201cTurn on the fire\u201d to make the fireplace lit up? If you are someone who thinks that it is something of the future, then your probably wrong. It is already here. The next versions of the home automation technology are finally making its way into people home and life\u2019s.<\/p>\n

These technologies are not vulnerable, they have some pretty strong backing. Have you heard of Amazon & Google? I\u2019m sure you have. These companies have come up with home automation products which will make your home a \u201csmart home\u201d.<\/p>\n

What to know what all you can do with these amazing gadgets?<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s find out\u2026<\/p>\n

All of these home automation products run on a common technology of AI(Artificial Intelligence). Is AI good or bad is a debatable topic, but for now, let us put it to the side and talk about Amazon Echo and Google Home.<\/p>\n

Firstly, let us get the pricing out of the way. The Amazon Echo is currently being sold in India for Rs 6,999 and the Google Home is priced at Rs 8,500.<\/p>\n

Echo uses various search engines such as \u201cAnswers.com\u201d and \u201cWikipedia\u201d, whereas Google Home uses \u201cGoogle\u201d as it\u2019s search engine.<\/p>\n

You can use words like \u2013\u00a0\u201cAlexa,\u201d \u201ccomputer,\u201d \u201cAmazon,\u201d or \u201cEcho\u201d to wake up the Amazon Echo device. On the other hand, you can say things like \u2013\u00a0\u201cOK, Google\u201d or \u201cHey, Google\u201d to wake up the Google Home device.<\/p>\n

Now that we have got the basic information out of the way let us see what these devices are actually capable of doing.<\/p>\n

1. Control everything with your voice<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can control literally anything that is smart in your home. May it be your TV, your electric fireplace, music system, mobile phone and what not. You can simple make those devices do what you want them to do by simply talking to them. Let\u2019s say you want to watch F.R.I.E.N.D.S TV show on your TV, you can simply say \u2013 \u201cOk, Google \u2013 Play FRIENDS from NETFLIX on TV\u201d and the Amazon Echo or Google Home gets the job done for you.<\/p>\n

Want to play some music? Just say \u201cAmazon, Play music\u201d and it does that too.<\/p>\n

The best part? You can name your devices. You can say things like \u2013 \u201cbedroom speaker\u201d, \u201cliving room TV\u201d, etc. That\u2019s makes it easy for you to talk to your home assistant and of course makes it more personal.<\/p>\n

2. Every voice is different and the Home assistants know it<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are a few people that live in one house and when people say different things the Google Home and Amazon Echo will remember it differently too.<\/p>\n

Example, If you said, \u201cCall MOM\u201d then the assistant will call your mom. Whereas if your son says, \u201cCall MOM\u201d it does not call your mom, instead it calls your son\u2019s mother (Your wife), this is done by using the voice recognition technology.<\/p>\n

3. Go Hands-Free<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now that you can literally talk to everything in your home and not physically do anything to make them work \u2013 these home assistants have made you go completely hands-free with these tasks so that you can concentrate on\u00a0other important works.<\/p>\n

Smartphones, tablets, and laptops do their part in making your life a lot more smoother, agree? But at times, these gadgets can get pretty expensive. That\u2019s why we have a solution for you.<\/p>\n

These are called refurbished products. Simply said, these are the devices that are open boxed and then fixed for any issues and then resold in the market with a warranty by the refurbisher.<\/p>\n

Sounds cool? Yeah, thought so.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what makes these refurbished products equal in quality to the new one but very low in pricing when compared with the new device of the same model.<\/p>\n
