Panasonic Expands Voice Control Language Availability for its Air Conditioners

Panasonic Heating and Cooling works with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for voice control of your connected devices. Customers may now control compatible Panasonic domestic air-conditioners and commercial PACi systems by voice in a range of additional European languages, to further provide simple and convenient control.

Voice control is now available for domestic air-conditioners in English, Italian, Spanish, French and German on both Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, with the additional languages of Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian for Google Assistant.

The voice control functionality for Panasonic solutions offers a wide range of benefits for both the commercial and residential markets. For example, homeowners who are used to controlling their lighting and audio with their voice can also include preferences for their Panasonic air conditioning system to create the complete desired environment. Once paired with a Panasonic air-conditioning unit via the Comfort Cloud app, homeowners can use Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa for simple voice-controlled tasks such as on/off, operating modes, checking operating status or temperature settings with a simple voice command “Alexa, set the living room air conditioner to 25°C” or “Hey Google, how cold is the living room air conditioner?”. Thanks to Panasonic product compatibility with voice assistants, users can also add air conditioning to their routine of assistants.

For the commercial sector, voice control is compatible with Panasonic PACi solutions. From June 2020 users can easily pre-determine working environments to provide the most suitable climate throughout the day for maximum comfort in an additional range of languages. For example, settings on the Comfort Cloud app such as temperature can be activated by voice command in a variety of languages to pre-cool a store before customers arrive. This service can be easily administered by any worker via Amazon Alexa, or by inviting them to join via the Google Home app.

For fast, convenient and hands-free control, link your Comfort Cloud app with Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa to help save time and provide ease and comfort.
