How to control the plug using voice assistants Google Assistant, Siri

A voice assistant is software for speech recognition, answering the user's questions and sending commands to connected devices. Today, almost any smartphone has a voice assistant: iPhone offers Siri, while Android offers Google Assistant. You can activate the assistant with a button or with a starting command, if your assistant is always listening. iPhone users should say “Hi Siri” and then say the command.

Voice assistants in combination with the smart plug allow control of your refrigerator, washing machine, microwave, electric teapot and many other appliances. In this way, you can control your appliances hands-free. Just say “Hi Siri, turn off the iron”, if you use Home app on iPhone — no need to rush and check. Or if you just don’t want to get out of bed to turn off the heater.

In addition, voice assistants make life easier for people with disabilities by helping them to interact with the outside world.
