Why smart speakers?
They're convenient
Smart speakers can provide information relating to the news, weather and a matter of general questions in seconds. They also connect to other smart devices at home, like smart thermostats and smart plugs. You can control appliances and electronics in your home using just your voice - great for multi-tasking and getting jobs done quicker.
They're helpful
When you’re cooking, you can ask your smart voice-assistant for help reading out ingredient or you can watch a tutorial on a smart display. There’s nothing worse than needing to turn the page of your cookery book when your hands are dirty with wet ingredients. Smart home speakers can also make shopping lists and set reminders like "Get Mum a birthday card," keeping you organised. Got a question that needs answering? Just ask.
They play music
Whether you're entertaining guests, cooking in the kitchen, giving the house a clean or doing a workout, smart speakers are widely used for playing music linked to services like Apple Music, Amazon Music and Spotify. Just ask the speaker "Play my rock playlist" or "Play Halo by Beyoncé" (for example) and it will. You can also enjoy YouTube videos on smart displays - helpful for home workouts.
