Introduction of Speech to Phrase Technology
A new feature called Speech to Phrase enhances local speech recognition capabilities, allowing users to issue commands to their smart home devices more efficiently. This feature processes exact phrases like 'turn on the lights' instantly without relying on cloud services. It also accommodates variations and custom commands by training the model using a user's unique device names and entities.
