Smart appliances that can be controlled by voice commands are not new, but IAI Smart is demonstrating a new line of Emerson Smart appliances at CES that can be controlled by direct voice commands. The system operates completely through its local setup because it does not need a smart speaker, broadband connection, or any other infrastructure components. If you are concerned about the privacy and security pitfalls of IoT devices, this might be the answer.
SmartVoice technology is integrated right into everyproduct. Each product has a microphone through which you speak to each device, and most of the products also have a speaker. After you give a verbal command, the products respond and print your command acknowledgement.
The Emerson Smart Series exemplifies IAI's commitment to designing practical technologies that operate successfully within a realistic environment, with no requirements for technical know-how, home networking or Internet access. Most importantly, without using an App, wireless network, or Hub, you maintain your privacy and confidentiality for all personal data.
Setting a New Benchmark for Effortless Smart Solutions

SmartVoice technology is the proprietary technology powering Emerson Smart products and comprises natural language voice processing embedded directly inside eachdevice. Users just say commands such as "Hey Fan, " "Hey Heater", or "Hey Air Fryer", to control appliances right away, even in places where network access is unavailable or unstable.
Some of the expanded Emerson Smart lineup, which was showcased at CES, includes:
- SmartVoice Tower Fans (30", 40" and 42"): These models come with offline voice activation, three fan speeds, 15-hour sleep timers, 70 oscillations, and trendy LED touch displays. Moreover, the 42" tower fan features an integrated aroma diffuser to enrich the home environment.
- SmartVoice Fan, Heaters (24" and 32"): These feature voice control without hands, along with efficient 1500W heating, wide-angle oscillation, and several heat modes. For safety, the heaters are equipped with anti-tipping and auto shut-off timers.
- SmartVoice Electrical Plugs: The single, outlet and dual, outlet (USB, A and USB-C)models provide more than 30 voice commands with the use of the wake phrase "Hey Emerson. " Users can also set timers, schedule on/off functions and group multiple plugs, all without Wi, Fi.
- SmartVoice Air Fryers (5. 3 qt. , and 10 qt. ): Emerson Smart air fryers enable customers to make meals entirely without the use of their hands. The devices boast 1, 000+ voice commands and more than 100 cooking presets. Commands such as "Cook salmon, " "Reheat pizza", or "Increase temperature" not only facilitate cooking but also promote healthier, low-oil cooking.
Why Emerson Smart Stands Out

Emerson Smart is not marketing its technology as a replacement for Alexa- or Google-powered smart homes, but SmartVoice’s disconnected nature will be a compelling feature to many. As all processing occurs on the device itself, voice recordings and usage data will not be transmitted outside your home. And in case your internet connection is slow or you have a limited data plan that is strictly regulated, the products will help you avoid the need to be constantly connected to the internet.
In conclusion, Emerson Smart's innovative use of SmartVoice technology is setting a new standard for seamless, hands-free control of smart appliances. By eliminating the need for a smart speaker, app, or internet connection, the Emerson Smart lineup prioritizes user privacy while offering practical, real-world solutions. Whether you're controlling a fan, heater, air fryer, or electrical plug, Emerson Smart appliances deliver an unmatched level of convenience and security. As showcased at CES, these devices not only provide a glimpse into the future of smart home technology but also underscore the company’s commitment to creating functional, user-friendly products that enhance daily life without compromising on privacy or ease of use.
