Yes voice control will be coming to Iris soon!
My first tip from a reader Jeff who wrote to me and mentioned that support had told him it would be coming to the app soon.
I would have just relay this tip to everyone here but there wasn’t much proof until later I found that myeyesoniris had spotted a microphone on the google play store but it seems it’s not a active feature for the Android yet.
Besides development for the Apps to include voice control, there is also product called ivee that is a voice activated assistant clock. It’s like the iPhone Siri for your home.
Here’s a short video on what it can do.
If you visit their website at helloivee.com and scroll down a bit you’ll also notice that Iris will be supported too.
Just to be safe and to make sure they aren’t talking about another Iris product I had to dig in more and found that they had commented on their kickstarter with the following comment.
“Philips HUE, Lowe’s IRIS, and FitBit are just a few of the companies that have opened up their API’s and what we are already beginning to experiment with.”
Now voice control is in the future I’ll have to try to dig up news to see if there is a robot in the future that will do my laundry, clean the house and bring me a can of beer, when I come home. hummm…. 😉
Good breaking news article on voice control. Yesterday I went into the Staples site to see if their Staples Connect system was for sale yet, and they now have all the system details and products with pricing. I had seen the Ivee product and was curious about it. Nice to see it will be integrated with many hubs/systems and devices. Staples has it for $199 and said it is model IV3B. So I wonder if that same model will be used for all hubs/systems or if they are making a unique proprietary model for each system. Also if Iris integrates it as it looks, will Iris also integrate the Nest thermostat and Philips Hue? One could only hope since those decices are in your screenshot?
It seems like the reorder only for one device and didn’t give you any options, so I have to assume it’s one device that will later be able to talk to all the one’s listed.
Regarding the integration with the other device it does seems possible just don’t understand what’s stopping them.
I juist oreded the Ivee Sleek from staples.com where it is already available for some reason. It should be in tomorrow. I have already made an account at helloivee.com where it already allows you to link your iris system to the ivee dashboard. it shows all of the devices that I have installed. There is also a list of commands that will work with iris listed in a PDF format. When it comes in tomorrow I will do a full review.
Wow really. Can’t wait for your review. 🙂
New updated iPhone app just hit the store.
