Smart home voice control

Discover our range of Smart home voice control

Give your home a voice and make everyday tasks easier. Smart home voice control lets you dim lights, turn up the heating or answer the door with a simple request. With the Home Assistant Voice Preview Edition you can try voice control locally on your own hardware, which means fast responses and extra privacy.

Doorways are a great place to start. A smart video doorbell from Currys shows who is calling and lets you reply hands-free. Link it with HomeKit or an ESPHome voice assistant so you can say show the front door��_ on a display or ask your speaker to record a clip. Currys doorbells are designed to install neatly and work alongside accessories you already own.

Voice control can reach further. Ask for a scene that sets warm lighting and a cosy thermostat in one go. Start the robot vacuum when you head out, or have a lamp turn on if a camera sees movement at night. If privacy matters, you can use Home Assistant voice control without cloud, keeping commands and automations inside your home network.

Getting started is straightforward. Choose a speaker or display you like, connect it to your Wi-Fi, then link your devices in the companion apps. Most products appear automatically and provide suggested phrases, so you are not stuck memorising commands.

Can a smart TV be voice controlled?

Yes. Many models accept channel changes, app launches and volume tweaks by voice, and can join routines with other devices.

Do I need the internet for voice control?

For cloud assistants, yes. With Home Assistant running locally, many commands work on your network even if the internet is down.

What if a command is not understood?

Rename devices with clear names, group rooms and use short phrases. Most apps show recent requests so you can refine wording.
