Legrand Goes for Hands-Free Home Lighting Controls with Google Assistant Compatibility
Legrand, Middletown, PA, has made its radiant RF (radio frequency) Lighting Control and adorne Wi-Fi Ready Lighting systems controllable by voice using Google Assistant. Owners of the two systems can now power and dim lights through devices enabled by the Google Assistant, such as Google Home, simply by saying phrases like, “Ok Google, turn on the porch light,” or “Ok Google, dim the living room to 50%.” They no longer need to reach for their phone, tablet or light switch, Legrand said in a release.
“Working with the Google Assistant, our radiant RF Lighting Control and adorne Wi-Fi Ready Lighting systems remain in step with the industry’s leading edge technologies for integrators and their tech-savvy customers,” said Fritz Werder, VP and general manager of Legrand’s On-Q and Nuvo lines. “Our goal is to offer users the simplicity of connecting to our products any way they want to. If homeowners find it convenient to use the Google Assistant, then we want them to have that option for controlling their lighting, too.”
