Amazon Alexa is the most prominent voice assistant on the market right now. It works on Amazon Echo devices connected to the cloud. Its voice processing technology and AI enables it to play music, read news and weather forecast, check calendar and interact with users in many other ways. With a help of third-party apps – called skills – it can also control smart home devices.

The new Niagara SmartHub skill developed by baudrate.io allows Alexa to access Niagara-based automation systems. Now your customers can use voice to switch their devices on and off, control the climate in their homes and hear outstanding alarms. Highly customisable Niagara components allow integrators to tailor interactions and create bespoke solutions to best suit customers’ needs.
