Cortana, the virtual assistant created by Microsoft for Windows 10, Windows 10 Mobile, Windows Phone 8.1, Invoke smart speaker, Microsoft Band, Xbox One, iOS, Android, Windows Mixed Reality, and soon Amazon Alexa, can now work with Control4 system. Software integration is achieved via the Chowmain IFTTT driver for Control4.
With integration to Control4, home owners can now control their homes verbally to tell their thermostats to go to a specific setpoint, dim their lights to a specific level, select a channel on their TV’s, turn the whole house off or even broadcast text to speech announcements throughout their home.
As a large portion of people own a PC with Windows 10, most study rooms can now have voice control and automation over users’ Control4 system. On top of this, the Xbox One, a popular gaming console, can also use Cortana for voice control. The integration can be a conversation starter for voice control with existing customers who already own Windows 10 PC’s and Xbox One devices.
