Bluetooth Smart Speakers & Displays

There are two main categories of voice assistant that you can choose for your home: smart speakers and smart displays. Both carry out voice commands, play music and search the internet, but upgrading from a smart speaker to a smart display will offer you some additional perks. For instance, with a smart display, you can make video calls, view recipes on the screen (convenient if you use a smart display in the kitchen) and program the screen to cycle through a collection of photos.

You may want more than one smart home assistant depending on how large your home is. So, you could choose a combination of smart speakers and displays based on the needs of different areas.

From there, choosing the best voice assistant for you comes down to compatibility. A Google Assistant integrates easily with Google Nest smart devices, like Nest security. Meanwhile, an Amazon Alexa smart home assistant works seamlessly with Alexa-compatible smart home tech, such as Ring and Arlo security as well as Amazon smart TVs.

Voice assistants make it easy to control your smart home tech with a simple voice command. While smart tech and devices, like smart light bulbs or smart thermostats, pair with apps you can control via your phone, you’ll enjoy the convenience of simply speaking your wishes when you’re around the house. Want the lights to dim or the change color temperature? Just say so.

Your home can be as connected and automated as you want, and you can build your smart home over time. You might start with the basics, like some smart switches or smart accent lighting, expand your home’s protection with a smart security system and finally add touches of convenience with great devices like keyless smart locks.

You don't need mesh Wi-Fi to have a smart home, but it can help eliminate dead spots. For the ultimate smart home setup, it is helpful to schedule a free smart home consultation. Our Home Experts will make sure you end up with the home assistant voice control that meets your needs and space.
