To help you get started with your new smart home build, here are six of our top tips for laying the foundations for your connected, autonomous home.Do you prefer Alexa or Google Assistant? Perhaps you’re deeply embedded into the Apple ecosystem and Siri is the only voice assistant for you. In our opinion, Alexa and Google Assistant have a lot of similarities when it comes to smart home control. Siri isn’t quite as capable, at least in our experience, but is a perfectly valid option if you already have a household full of Apple products and want to stay in the same ecosystem.A crucial aspect of smart home design is connectivity.
These smart speakers and displays take your voice commands and use them to control devices like smart lights, plugs, fans, speakers, thermostats, and much more besides. You can say things like “Alexa, turn the lights on” or “Hey Google, turn up the heating” and the relevant smart home device will respond in a matter of seconds.
Speaking from personal experience, I’ve recently wasted an hour trying to find the obscure app used to set up some smart light bulbs I bought, installed, added to Alexa then forgot about. One bulb was switching from white to yellow every time I turned it on, and Alexa had lost contact with it. I had to dig into my Amazon purchase history to find the name of the bulbs, Lepro, then find their app, re-download it and go about troubleshooting the misbehaving bulb.
