Alice's many skills
Answers questions, knows a lot of games, helps to call a taxi and make purchases — use all the skills of a virtual assistant
A new smart home
The Zigbee™ control hub is already integrated into the Yandex Midi Station, thanks to which it directly interacts with sensors and other smart home devices 5 operating using the Zigbee™ protocol. Make the Midi Station the center of a smart home and communicate with it by voice: for example, ask Alice what the temperature and humidity in the room are now. For the first time, voice control for some scenarios with certain Zigbee devices can work even without the Internet
New size, recognizable design
The active contour LED backlight and animated reactions on the display add emotion when listening to music and chatting with Alice. The LED display shows the time and temperature
The "Quick Commands" function
does not necessarily refer to Alice by name — control music, smart home and TV twice as fast.
Play and pause: Stop, Pause, Continue, Stop, Play
Switch the music: On, Back, Next
Adjust the volume: Quieter, Louder
Baby monitor
In baby monitor mode, Alice can transmit sounds from the nursery to your phone or a second Yandex Station.
The "Whisper" function
With Alice, you can speak in a whisper, for example, so as not to wake up your loved ones. If you speak to Alice in a whisper, she will also lower her voice — just like people do.
Calls to the Station
You can call your home Station from the Home with Alice app or from another Station. This will help you out when you can't get through to your family's phones, and it's very convenient if you decide to talk to the whole family at once.
Messages to the Station
Send messages to the Midi Station's home speaker directly from Yandex apps: Navigator, Maps, and at Home with Alice. Or between Stations. Alice will read them with her voice
Ordering a taxi
Alice will call a taxi. Meanwhile, in a hurry, when your hands are busy, call Alice if you need to order a taxi. It's fast and convenient
