Comelit Group’s Mini Handsfree WIFI Monitor now integrates with Amazon Alexa, and offers facial recognition, for ‘smart’ door entry.
The Italian door entry product manufacturer launched the Mini Handsfree WIFI kits as an internal wireless upgrade to its exclusive SimpleBus system, alongside complementing Quadra ViP and iKall metal external door entry products. The Mini Handsfree product allows Alexa to announce that someone is at the door. And with facial recognition enabled, a home owner can identify who is at the door.
Justin Hawkesford, Comelit Operations & Technical Manager, says: “There’s no denying that voice control is the future. The technology will continue to drive and shift to every impact on every aspect of our lives, and in our position, as a forward-thinking premier door specialist, we need to prepare and enable our products accordingly.
“The Mini Handsfree WIFI system was launched to fit a mobile connected lifestyle. The new features of Amazon Alexa control and facial recognition demonstrate our commitment to offering future-proof technology, without compromising security or style. We have also kept to our pledge of ensuring simple installation and configuration, to create a seamless retrofit opportunity for homeowners to benefit from smart door entry.”
The Mini Handsfree Kit has an interface allowing a connection between its monitor and configuration with Amazon Alexa to be achieved in a few steps, the makers add. With colour monitors and indicator LEDs for incoming calls, door open, privacy and pending messages, users can receive and answer calls from video door entry on their chosen smartphone or tablet, via the latest updated version of the Comelit App.
The firm is hosting webinars over July to take installers through how to enable control of Comelit devices with Alexa. For details, or to register visit https://www.comelitgroup.com/en-gb/.
