Njengamanje sesijwayele ukulawula amalambu, ama-air conditioners, ama-thermostats noma ukudlala umculo ngezwi lethu. Dala uhlu lokuthenga, izikhumbuzo, shayela abangane bethu nomndeni wethu ... sibonga i-home automation kanye ne-virtual assistants igama elithi "hands-free" lenze umqondo omkhulu kunakuqala. Kodwa-ke, kukhona umshini omelana ngokumangazayo nokuvela ngale ndlela: ithelevishini.
Leyo eyisikhungo semizi eminingi, esesikhundleni esiphakeme kunawo wonke egumbini lethu lokuphumula, naleyo eyake yazishaya isifuba ngokuba njalo ithuluzi elinobuchwepheshe obuphambili kakhulu endlini yethu, noma kunjalo, kubonakala sengathi ishiywe ngemuva. I-Apple imemezele ukuhambisana kwe-HomeKit nabakhiqizi abakhulu be-TV ngesinyathelo esizoshintsha indlela esiphatha ngayo i-TV yasekhaya, kodwa Ngaphandle kokukulindela lokho, manje sesingasebenzisa izwi lethu nabasizi be-virtual ukuyilawula sibonga iSonos Beam. Ibha yomsindo ephelele emakethe yenza ne-TV yethu “ihlakaniphe” sibonga i-Alexa, bese sichaza ukuthi kanjani.
Ibha yomsindo ephelele emakethe
Ngivele ngasho lapho ngithumela ukubuyekeza kwami kule ndawo enhle kakhulu yomsindo weSonos (isixhumanisi) kepha anginankinga nokuziphinda: Ibha yomsindo weSonos Beam iyona ephelele kunazo zonke ongayithola emakethe. Ngaphezu kokuhleleka okunikezwa yiSonos kulo lonke ikhathalogi yayo yezipikha ezihlangana ngokuphelele kanye nokuthi ungakwazi ukunweba ngendlela ehamba kancane, kufanele sengeze ukuhambisana ne-AirPlay 2 ne- kusho ukuthini lokhu (ukuhambisana neSiri kusuka kunoma iyiphi idivayisi ye-Apple neMultiRoom) nokuhlanganisa i-Alexa njengomsizi obonakalayo.
Kukho konke lokhu kufanele sengeze umsindo onjengemigoqo yomsindo embalwaUkunikezwa kwe-Edeni, okunethuba lokuthuthukisa izingxoxo kumabhayisikobho ukuze bakwazi ukuthola ukuthi kwenzekani ngisho nakumabhayisikobho ezenzo ngemiphumela ekhethekile enomsindo. Ibuye ibe "nemodi yasebusuku" eyehlisa imisindo emikhulu ukuze singaphazamisi omakhelwane noma izingane ngenkathi zilele.
Yebo, ngaphezu kwakho konke lokhu esesikuchazile ekubuyekezweni kwakho, singangeza umsebenzi omusha ozoheha kakhulu kwabaningi asebevele benayo le Sonos Beam noma kulabo abasazibuza ukuthi bangayithenga yini: lawula ithelevishini yethu ngezwi lethu. Uma ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ezedlule sikukhombisile ukuthi i-HomeKit izosivumela kanjani ukuthi senze okufanayo kumamodeli amasha we-LG neminye imikhiqizo (isixhumanisi), sesivele singakwenza ngale bar yomsindo exhunywe kuthelevishini yethu. 
Izidingo nokulungiswa
Yini esiyidingayo ukuze sikwazi ukujabulela lokhu kulawulwa kwezwi? Ngaphezu kwebha yeSonos Beam, kufanele siyixhume kuthelevishini ehambisana nezinga le-HDMI-CEC. Akunzima ukuthi ithelevishini yakho isebenzisane ngoba eminyakeni yamuva wonke amamodeli afaka leli zinga, yize kuya ngomkhiqizo balibiza ngokuhlukile: Simplink ku-LG, AnyNet + kwa-Samsung, njll. Ubheka lokhu kulungiselelwa ku-TV yakho futhi uma kukhutshaziwe, uyinika amandla ukuze ukwazi ukuqala inqubo yokusetha. Uzodinga futhi uxhumano lwe-HDMI-ARC kuthelevishini bese uxhuma iSonos Beam yakho kuthelevishini usebenzisa ikhebula le-HDMI kulokhu kuxhumana. Ngokuxhumeka okubonakalayo, lo msebenzi wokulawula izwi awukwazi ukusetshenziswa.
Lapho nje ithelevishini yethu ixhunywe kwi-Sonos Beam ngekhebula le-HDMI ekuxhumekeni kwe-HDMI-ACR kanye nokusebenza kwe-HDMI-CEC, singaqhubeka nenqubo yokumisa, esizokwazi ukufinyelela kuzilungiselelo ze-Sonos Beam ngohlelo lweSonos ukuthi sitholakala ku-App Store. Ukuphela kokufanele sikwenze ukuqinisekisa ukuthi i-Alexa ifakiwe kubasizi bezwi abafakwa kusipika sethu.. Uma kunjalo, manje sesingaya kuhlelo lwe-Alexa lwedivayisi yethu ephathekayo ukuyophetha ngokulungiswa.
Ngaphakathi kohlelo lwe-Alexa kumele singene kuwo wonke amadivayisi ethu futhi sifune ithelevishini, engeke sayengeza kepha engezwe ngokuzenzakalela lapho kulungiswa iSonos Beam yethu ene-Alexa. Okufanele sikwenze ukuguqula igama ukuze i-Alexa ikubone lapho iqamba igama layo. Ngiyiqambe ngokuthi "iThelevishini" njengoba ubona esithombeni, kepha ungayibiza nganoma yini oyifunayo, khumbula nje ukuthi kuzoba lelo gama okufanele ulisebenzise ukuyilawula.
Lawula i-TV nge-Sonos Beam yakho ne-Alexa
Konke kuzokwenziwa, kusukela kulo mzuzu singakwazi ukulawula ithelevishini ngezwi lethu. Ngemiyalo elula njenge- "Alexa, vula ithelevishini" noma "Alexa, cisha ithelevishini" i-TV yethu izovula icishe, ngokungeziwe, impendulo yakho iyashesha kakhulu. Singakwazi futhi ukulawula ivolumu yethelevishini, okumele sikhumbule ukuthi i-Alexa isebenzisa isikali esisuka ku-1 kuye ku-10. "I-Alexa, yehlisa ivolumu ibe ngu-1", "i-Alexa, yenyuse ivolumu ibe ngu-5" kuzoba imiyalo thina ingasebenzisa ukulawula izinga levolumu yethelevishini. Le yimisebenzi kuphela esingayilawula ngeSonos Beam yethu, okungenani okwamanje.
