Voice In Canada Flash Briefing #903
Hello there Teri Fisher here with your flash briefing for Sunday and as you may know, Sunday, we like to answer it questions from the community.
If you’re not part of our committee on Facebook, then please join us. AlexainCanada.ca/Community.
Today I have another question from a community member, this one again is anonymous.
This person is wondering if there are any relatively inexpensive, smart blinds that can be controlled from Alexa.
Well, the answer is I personally do not have any smart blinds at this point, although I’d love to get some at some point, but in doing some of my research, what I’ve discovered is that Ikea actually creates a whole set of smart blinds.
I’m not sure how to pronounce these, I think it’s Fyrtur, and then if you use the Tradfri, sorry but during these pronunciations, it’s spelled Tradfri.
What I’ve discovered is that Ikea actually creates a whole set of smart blinds.
If you use that hub and the app, then you can actually connect with Alexa.
And that hub/app allows you then to connect Alexa with Ikea smart home products, such as smart blinds and smart lights.
So, if you personally have any experience with these Ikea, smart home products, and particularly the smart blinds, I would love to get your feedback.
Was it easy to set up? Do they work well? it is something that I would consider getting myself at some point, I’d love to hear your feedback.
And so for the person that asked this question, I hope that is helpful for you maybe check out Ikea, do a little bit more research into the combination of using Alexa and those smart blinds, but I think this looks like it’s a relatively inexpensive option for you.
I hope that’s helpful to you and to everybody else and I’ll talk to you again tomorrow.
