Sony Alexa compatible ceiling light with built-in speaker that allows voice control of home appliances - PHILE WEB

Sony has made the LED ceiling light "Multi-Function Light" compatible with "Amazon Alexa", which can play music, link with smartphones, monitor the room, and operate from the outside, and has started general sales. A set of the multi-function unit "LGTG-100/WHC J1" and the LED ceiling light "LGTC-10/MLJ J1" is expected to sell for around 59,800 yen.

Multi-function light This product is a lighting fixture that combines a dedicated LED ceiling light and a multi-function unit with control functions. Since the unit itself operates as an infrared remote control, it is possible to operate TVs, air conditioners, etc. through this unit simply by attaching it to the ceiling lighting socket. It was announced in 2016 and was developed for BtoB such as housing companies (related news), but it seems that sales to general users have started with this Alexa support. Usage image This time, with the update, you can now operate lights, TVs, and air conditioners hands-free simply by saying "Alexa, turn on the lights" to Alexa-equipped devices such as the Amazon Echo series. You can turn your home into a smart home just by replacing the ceiling lights By activating the "MF light" skill in the Alexa app or the Alexa skill store, you can perform the above operations. The TV and air conditioner can be turned on/off, the lighting can be turned on/off, and the brightness and color can be changed. Voice operation support functions will be gradually expanded. We have also started collaborating with lighting equipment manufacturers and interior shops. As the first step, we will sell the dedicated LED ceiling light "LGTC-20" realized under the ORION brand provided by Orion Electric with technology provided by Sony Network.
