Voice control is a long sought-after technology. The first practical voice-control unit was made by Bell Labs in 1962, a device called the ‘Shoebox.’ It recognized a voice speaking the numbers 0-9 and a few mathematical commands. We have come a long way since then, with voice command ‘smart speakers’ becoming nearly ubiquitous. 

While voice control is now more popular, not all implementations offer the same feature sets or flexibility level. Control4 has embraced voice commands as an interface from very early on and now supports complete home automation. Whether you are looking to control a single device or your entire Santa Fe, CA home system, as a Control4 dealer, we can happily state that it is our favorite system to integrate with Alexa.
