THE NEW PHASE OF HOME AUTOMATION;AMAZON'S ALEXA VOICE RECOGNITION COMMAND AND CONTROL

The Amazon Echo has quietly become the hottest smart home product on the market. They allow third-party hardware makers to integrate Alexa voice command into their devices.
Suddenly, every tech company wants to integrate its products with Amazon's customizable virtual assistant, Alexa.
Customers are using Alexa-enabled devices to
listen to music, set alarms, get news, shop online, order pizza, and perform a variety of household talks including controlling lights and window blinds.
One of the biggest issues for accelerating
adoption of smart home products is the ability to
integrate all the various capabilities that
communicate seamlessly with each other.
"The smart home market has been and will
continue to be hobbled by a lack of
comprehensive and simple methods to integrate
the various smart home devices from different
manufacturers,".
"Amazon Alexa integration is one step towards making  integration easy for users.

The latest integration of Alexa is in NUCLEUS' home intercom a tablet that connects to
a home network through WiFi or Ethernet to allow family members to communicate with each
other both inside and outside the home.
The Nucleus intercom has an 8-inch touchscreen
with 1280 x 800 resolution, a 5-MP camera with
a wide 120-degree viewing angle, a microphone
for two-way conversations, and stereo speakers
for streaming music.
It can be paired with a smartphone through an
iOS or Android app.
