With voice commands, users can ask the Google Assistant to show their camera’s live view on a television or display when connected to a Google Chromecast device. The mydlink Wi-Fi Smart Plug and Wi-Fi Power Strip can also be turned on and off with Google Assistant.
D-Link’s new product integrations with the Google Assistant provide users the ability to control their mydlink Cameras and mydlink Smart Plugs with the power of their own voice, said D-Link President and CEO Anny Wei. “We plan to continue expanding the range of Google Assistant-compatible products to provide more home automation possibilities for smart homes.”
To configure the devices, owners of these mydlink Cameras and mydlink Smart Plugs simply need to go into the settings menu of their Google Home app or the Google Assistant on their phone, to select Home control and follow the instructions to link their mydlink account to the Google Assistant.
mydlink smart home ecosystem
D-Link is also showcasing the new mydlink Connected Home Ecosystem that include CES 2018 Innovation Awards Honoree DCS-1820LM 4G/LTE Outdoor Camera and other smart cameras, smart plugs and a water sensor.
The new mydlink ecosystem also consolidates devices under one single app, adding more smart automation possibilities while enabling rich features such as cloud recording and IVA.
The one-tap feature allows consumers to more easily control multiple devices and bundle multiple actions into scenarios. Third-party compatibility with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and IFTTT means that mydlink can meet the needs of every smart home owner, without locking them into any one ecosystem, the company states.
D-Link says the aims is “to offer more comfort and convenience, more peace of mind, more power and performance, and more seamless coverage to meet the demands of consumers today.”
