“Will someone set a timer for 20 minutes? My hands are messy!” You’re already busy, so every minute in the kitchen matters.

If no one can come to your rescue when your hands are tied, products like Amazon’s Alexa can help. A “smart assistant” will recognize your voice and happily set your timer for you.

Smart technology for the home is revolutionizing the way we live. We have devices that control our lights, locks, thermostat, and more, all with the touch of a button or the sound of our voice.
