The 360 Smart Assistant A1 connects to the home network via Wi-Fi and recognises voice commands. It is operated via the Lulu voice control software, which is activated by the words “Hey Lulu”. When prompted, the device plays music or sends voice messages. Thus children or older people for instance, who are not familiar with the use of a smartphone, may communicate with their relatives. Furthermore, the device can function as the main controller of a networked home.
