Nvidia would like to make a small place in all parts of the house. During THESE, in the margin of the new Shield TV and service to GeForce Now, the automaker unveiled Spot, a solution to home automation.
A speaker connected, like Google Home or Echo, is effective only if its owner is placed near the device. Outside of the scope of the micro speaker, and at least yelling his orders, he will not hear anything. With Spot, Nvidia has devised an interesting solution.
Spot is a housing assistant in the Shield TV that contains a microphone. His goal is simple : to relay voice commands from the user to the objects in home automation present in the house. For maximum effectiveness, you will be able to install several of these accessories in strategic places of the home.
A relay to Google Wizard
Shield TV is compatible with Google Wizard, the wizard can control the devices in home automation compatible. Spot is positioned as a companion to the Google technology : we do not compete with the wizard of the search engine, but rather to give him a helping hand. Moreover, the case of Nvidia not to include a speaker.
Shield TV is also compatible with Nest and Hue, other platforms may follow. The manufacturer unfortunately does not give precision concerning an availability or a price. The concept is, however, far from being silly, you could almost bet that it will be taken over by the manufacturers of the wizards !
