Telus announced its SmartHome Security customers can now control their security systems using voice commands via the Telus Home Assistant skill for Amazon Alexa.
Customers can now use voice commands to set functions such as arming their panel, locking and unlocking doors, setting the thermostat, and turning lights on and off. Telus’s Home Assistant skill is able to integrate multiple products including SmartHome Security and Optik TV, and is now available to Telus SmartHome Security customers at no additional cost, according to the company.
