更聪明的语音商业化机器人_是否需要更好的智能家居语音控制？使用组

更聪明的语音商业化机器人

If your Google Home or Amazon Echo has trouble controlling multiple lights or devices in a room, you probably haven’t set up groups correctly. Giving each item a unique name and then grouping those items makes your Voice Assistant work better.

如果您的Google Home或Amazon Echo无法控制一个房间中的多个灯光或设备，则可能是您未正确设置组。为每个项目指定一个唯一的名称，然后对这些项目进行分组，可以使您的Voice Assistant更好地工作。

命名设备很快变得复杂 (Naming Devices Quickly Becomes Complicated)

A smart bulb is one of the most natural things to add to a growing smarthome. You need light bulbs, and these are incredibly easy to install, requiring no wiring on your part. But you’ll quickly run into an issue with voice assistants like Google Home and Alexa: everything needs a name. As you add on other types of devices like smart switches or smart outlets, those names multiply, and it becomes harder to remember what to say when.

智能灯泡是不断增长的智能家居中最自然的东西之一。您需要灯泡，并且灯泡非常容易安装，不需要您的任何接线。但是您很快就会遇到像Google Home和Alexa这样的语音助手的问题：所有东西都需要一个名字。当您添加其他类型的设备(如智能交换机或智能插座)时，这些名称会成倍增加，并且很难记住何时说什么。

Unfortunately, Voice Assistants don’t truly understand you; they only listen for expected commands. So if you stumble over “turn on the study… I mean office window light” there’s a better than decent chance it will mishear you and do nothing at all, or do the wrong thing. If your device names aren’t memorable, then you’ll run into this issue frequently. But coming up with lots of different easy to remember names is hard, so you’re better off grouping your devices instead.

不幸的是，语音助手并不真正了解您。他们只听预期的命令。因此，如果您偶然发现“打开书房……我的意思是办公室的窗户灯”，那真是好极了，它会给您留下深刻的印象，什么也做不了，或者做错了事。如果您的设备名称令人难忘，那么您会经常遇到此问题。但是想出许多不同的易于记忆的名称很困难，因此最好将设备分组。

命名组减少了设备名称的复杂性 (Naming Groups Reduces Device Name Complications)

Voice assistants still aren’t as smart as they should be. The less “thinking” you make your voice assistant do, the better. Groups provide a convenient shortcut for both you and the voice assistant.

语音助手仍然没有应有的聪明。您使语音助手做的“思考”越少越好。组为您和语音助手提供了方便的快捷方式。

When you group your devices, the names of the individual devices matters less. You can name them Study1, Study2, and Study3—or you could call them Window Light, Wall Light, and Ceiling Light if you prefer—but you’ll seldom actually use these names. Instead, you will be using the group’s name when you speak to Alexa and Google Home by saying something like “Alexa, turn off the study lights.” If your three lights are all in a group named study, that will turn off all lights in that group. This will also help avoid confusion if you’ve named a smart light study and a smart outlet study (but you should avoid doing that).

对设备进行分组时，各个设备的名称影响较小。您可以将它们命名为Study1，Study2和Study3，也可以根据需要将它们命名为Window Light，Wall Light和Ceiling Light，但实际上很少使用这些名称。相反，当您与Alexa和Google Home通话时，您会说“ Alexa，请关闭书房灯”之类的名称，使用团体名称。如果您的三个灯都在一个名为“ study”的组中，则将关闭该组中的所有灯。如果您已经命名了智能照明研究和智能出口研究，这也将有助于避免混淆(但您应该避免这样做)。

Better yet, if you associate a voice assistant device in the room to that group, then you can say “turn off lights,” and it will know which lights to turn off based on that association. That is if you name a group. You may still want to choose unique names for the devices based on their location in the room, so if you ever do want to control just a single device remembering the name will come easier.

更好的是，如果您将房间中的语音助手设备与该组相关联，则可以说“ 关闭灯 ”，并且它将根据该关联知道要关闭哪些灯。也就是说，如果您命名一个组。您可能仍想根据设备在房间中的位置为设备选择唯一的名称，因此，如果您只想控制单个设备，记住该名称将变得更加容易。

We recommend creating groups even if you have only one device you want to put into that group. The reason for this is that you might add more devices to the group in the future and changing your own habit of what you say can be difficult.

即使您只有一个要放入该组的设备，我们也建议创建组。这样做的原因是，将来您可能会向该组添加更多设备，并且很难改变自己所说的习惯。

如何为Amazon Alexa设置组 (How to Set Up Groups for Amazon Alexa)

We’ve covered setting up groups in Alexa before, but it’s a pretty straight forward process. Just tap the devices button at the bottom of the Alexa app, and then either tap your existing group or tap the plus sign in the upper right corner followed by “Add group” to create a new group. Then tap on the devices you want to add to the group.

我们之前已经介绍了在Alexa中设置群组的过程，但这是一个非常简单的过程。只需点击Alexa应用程序底部的设备按钮，然后点击您现有的组或点击右上角的加号，然后点击“添加组”以创建一个新组。然后点击要添加到组中的设备。

如何使用Google Assistant设置网上论坛 (How to Set Up Groups with Google Assistant)

If you haven’t previously connected your smart devices, start there. Google will prompt you to associate with a room after adding the device, and it’s best to do that. That includes your Google Homes as well. But if you already added smart lights and didn’t connect to them to a room, scroll down to the bottom and tap on a device to associate it with a room.

如果您以前没有连接过智能设备，请从此处开始。添加设备后，Google会提示您将房间与房间关联，最好这样做。其中也包括您的Google Homes。但是，如果您已经添加了智能灯并且未将其连接到房间，请向下滚动至底部并点击设备以将其与房间关联。

If you want easier control of lights in a room, add a Google Home device to the room as well.

如果您想更轻松地控制房间中的灯光，请将Google Home设备也添加到房间中。

That’s it, as long as you have clearly-named groups (and remember, Google calls them “rooms” instead, but they work the same), you’ll have a much easier time using the right command. You also will reduce the variables for which your voice assistant has to account. Taking these extra steps may be more work, but they’ll make your smart home experience more enjoyable in the long run.

就是这样，只要您有明确命名的组(请记住，Google称它们为“房间”，但它们的工作原理相同)，使用正确的命令将使您的工作更加轻松。您还将减少语音助手必须考虑的变量。采取这些额外的步骤可能需要更多工作，但从长远来看，它们将使您的智能家居体验更加愉悦。
