  • It will be possible to configure those touch panels that fulfill these conditions:
    1. ZenVoice or demo license is active.

  • When a type of control has been selected, ZenVoice will perform a quick search of the compatible controls, excluding those that does not match the criteria.

  • For instance, switch and lighting On/Off controls would be equivalent, varying only icons that represent each kind of control. Also, the voice controls for your voice assistant will require different keywords:
    Alexa, turn off all lights / OK Google, turn off all the lights → Lighting On/Off controls will be turned off, but not switch controls.

Communicate with your voice assistant

  • There are two options in order to transmit voice commands with a voice assistant:
    1. Through your smartphone’s APP:
    1. Amazon Alexa
    2. Google Home
    2. Using a Smart speaker compatible with Alexa or Google Home such as Amazon ECHO, Sonos, Google Nest…

Z70 v2 IS NOT a smart speaker, it will only work as a gateway, so you MUST NOT voice the commands to Z70 v2.
– Alexa, turn on the lights.
– OK!
