Siri turns houses into smart homes

WebProNews reveals.

This allows users to communicate with their homes and give commands. In the demonstration, the system is used to adjust the lights in a home theatre, as well as control what plays on the projector.

The "smart home" is one of this year's up-and-coming technology innovations, with several recently unveiled products aimed at controlling a full array of appliances and systems using a smartphone as the hub, Mobiledia notes.

Carnes Audio Visual's Siri-enabled smart home system puts Apple in the race alongside Google, but with the added twist of voice recognition.

Now that Siri is also capable of controlling appliances and systems in the home, Apple stands at the intersection of two popular emerging technologies, voice and the smart home, and has the chance to become a forerunner in both.
