Kogan has announced their new “SmarterHome” range of plugs, bulbs and other products will work with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa

Integration with these platforms is critical to a really positive smart home experience, because it’s likely these days people have a range of products from a range of companies – so accessing them through a single source – like Google or Alexa – is key.

The bottom line – with a Kogan air conditioner, you can say “OK Google, Set the air conditioner to 22 degrees” or “Alexa, turn on the Air Conditioner” – bingo!

All the new products go on presale today.
