What Voice Assistants Does Nifty Support?
At Nifty, we integrate Home Assistant with two of the most popular voice assistants: Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. These voice assistants allow you to control your smart home devices using simple voice commands, making it easier to interact with your system. Home Assistant enables seamless integration with both Alexa and Google Assistant, ensuring you can control your devices remotely.
Siri is not directly supported by Home Assistant due to Apple’s more closed ecosystem and limited integration options for third-party platforms.
To use Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant with Home Assistant, you will need a Nifty cloud subscription, which is chargeable from as little as £9/month. If you wish to enable this integration, please submit a support ticket at support.nifty.place, and we will get back to you with further details and assistance.
In summary, Home Assistant supports Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for easy voice control, while Siri is not directly supported due to Apple’s ecosystem restrictions.
