Emerson's Offline Smart Home: Voice Control Without Cloud

Emerson Smart has unveiled a new range of voice-controlled home appliances designed to enhance convenience while safeguarding user privacy. Unlike typical smart home devices that rely on cloud-based processing of voice commands, Emerson's new lineup processes these instructions locally on the devices themselves. This ensures that recordings of user interactions are not transmitted over Wi-Fi or stored externally, addressing common privacy concerns.

The setup process for these smart plugs, fans, and heaters is remarkably simple, requiring neither a dedicated mobile application nor a Wi-Fi connection. Users can activate devices with simple voice commands such as "hey Emerson, lights on" or "hey fan, turn on low." Some appliances, like the air fryers, feature built-in programming to understand specific voice commands for 100 cooking presets, allowing users to say "reheat this pizza" to set the correct temperature and time.
