Effective immediately, this advanced feature facilitates users to orchestrate their domestic appliances and security apparatus via vocal commands from their vehicles.
This refined iteration of the MBUX Voice Assistant is now congruent with an array of esteemed smart home brands, encompassing Philips Hue, Samsung SmartThings, TP-Link, and myQ by Chamberlain Group.
The system proffers a real-time diagnostic of various home apparatuses. An inquiry such as, “Hey Mercedes, is the domestic environment secure?” might elicit a response delineating, “All fenestrations are hermetically sealed, albeit the luminary in the bedroom remains illuminated.”
The integration process has been meticulously designed for user convenience. Patrons can expediently synchronize their smart home portfolios to their vehicle by articulating, “Hey Mercedes, assimilate my smart home dossier.”
This engenders a QR code manifestation on the central console, facilitating a swift alignment. As an alternative, the ‘Mercedes me connect’ application provides an auxiliary conduit for dossier amalgamation.
This smart home integration is a constituent of a more comprehensive augmentation to the MBUX infotainment system, slated for release this month. A salient feature includes the incorporation of Dolby Atmos acoustics, achieved via an over-the-air firmware enhancement.
This is supplemented by other Voice Assistant refinements, inclusive of the NewsFlash application, which capacitates users to vocally instruct the system to curate musical selections or disseminate contemporary news bulletins.
