Newark, New Jersey What Are Minds For, Inc. has launched a new technology that will enable consumers to talk to a broad range of electronic devices to execute changes and commands previously requiring hand touch . The verbal interface of this new app is as natural as speaking on a cell phone and its first use will be in residential thermostats.
Michael Liguori, President and Founder of What Are Minds For, Inc., sees the introduction of this app, Voice RT, as an important first step in integrating voice controls into the home and our lives. In the instance of thermostats having the app, one can simply say “raise the temperature”, “heat my house”, or “make it hotter” to the Voice RT and the temperature in the house will be raised. There are many other commands in the app to set the temperature, use the scheduler for the days of the week, set modes and more. In order for a consumer to begin using the app, they must have the Radio Thermostat CT-80 in their home and on the same network which may be purchased at: http://store.radiothermostat.com/
