Today we can slide into sleep, or wake up, in gentler ways, all thanks to the technology of smart speakers. Currently, two options are present viz. Amazon’s Alexa and Google’s Assistant.
Smart Nightstand
As per reports, Lenovo has plumped for Google’s Assistant to fuel its first Smart Clock. The reason behind the same is that with all virtual assistants, the quality of response depends on the depth and size of the knowledge base at the back and what can be better than Google’s search engine, as it is the biggest of them all.
Once connected to a power outlet and synced to the Google Home app on your phone or tablet, the smart clock functions like any Google Home speaker, answering your “Ok, Google!” queries and controlling things like home lighting, security cameras, and baby alarm, etc. It offers modes that let you say “Goodnight” to dim the display, turn down the volume and play your favourite sleep-inducing sounds. While it wakes you the way you like it to do, it will stop the alarm by simply saying “Stop”.
Smart Nightstand Features Specification
As far as the specification is concerned, the Lenovo Smart Clock has a 4-inch touch screen which will display the time by default unless you programme it to show the weather or your appointments for the day. It will have a 6-watt speaker which is adequate to pick up your sleep slurred commands and you will also be able to turn off its listening mode. The absence of the camera would benefit in these days of privacy concerns. With the price of Rs 5999, one gets much, much, more than a mere clock.
