ABB, the leader in the German home automation market, has announced collaborations with Amazon and Sonos. Consumers can simply control up to 65 functions including lighting, blinds, security and heating with the ABB-free@home on a control panel, via tablet or smart phone, even remotely, and now Amazon Alexa and Sonos solutions are integrated within the same open home automation platform.
ABB is at the forefront of driving the market with its ABB Ability portfolio of connected and software-enabled solutions developed for home and building automation in a wide range of applications. Now, ABB is partnering with other market leaders to deliver an integrated experience for consumers to be able to control all the latest technology for convenience – voice command via Alexa to switch on the lights; atmosphere – controlling the sound system in multiple rooms; and energy efficiency with lighting, heating, blind control settings.
The integration with Alexa from Amazon enables voice control of up to 65 functions within ABB-free@home, as well as through myABB Living Space online platform or app. ABB offers its own voice activation feature for consumers who do not choose to invest in Alexa.
Sonos speakers can be controlled from the ABB-free@home app, ABB-free@home sensors and ABB-free@home Touch Panels. Users will be able to see and create speaker groups, start, stop, mute and skip songs and adjust the volume, enabling them to integrate their favorite music into pre-selected scenes.
