Home Automation - Gira X1 and Alexa Voice Control | GIRA

It searches the Web for music, reads out messages, and informs you of the weather situation. The next logical step is obvious: control of intelligent building functions via Amazon Alexa. Gira enables this via its link to the Gira X1 server. Light: obeys your every word. Blinds: move upon command. Scenes: called up with a few words. "Plug and Talk" also applies here. Pairing is quick and uncomplicated. And it means that the building can be conveniently controlled even if you don't have your tablet or smartphone with the Gira X1 app to hand at that very moment. Thanks to Alexa.
