If you have invested in a smart speaker for your home, there are a few different things you can do in order to maximize the use of your new smart speaker. Smart speakers can do more than play music; they are technology devices that are designed to enhance your life.

Tip #1: Make A Special Profile for Each Family Member

With a smart speaker, the speaker learns your interests and needs, which is why you are going to want to set up a different profile for each member of your family. With a smart speaker, you can easily switch profiles by just telling the speaker that you want to switch profiles.

By setting up separate profiles, you will be able to save personal information for each family member. With most smart speakers, you can still share certain content items across the device, but you also get a personalized experience as well.

Tip #2: Set Up Voice Profiles

It is not enough to just set up different profiles on a smart speaker; you also need to set up different voice profiles so that the speaker can recognize who is speaking. The "smart" in the name isn't just cheeky; these speakers are designed to be able to tell the difference from your voice to your spouse's voice to your child's voice. This helps the speaker seamlessly switch from one profile to another based on the sound of one's voice.

Tip #3: Set the Wake Word

In order to use your smart speaker, you generally have to say a certain "wake" work in order to turn the device on and to start operating the device. Some speakers have a list of pre-determined wake words that you can choose from for your device, and other speakers allow you to choose any word you want as your wake word for your speaker.

Tip #4: Control Other Smart Devices

Next, you can use a smart speaker to control other smart devices in your home. Many smart devices can communicate with one another via Bluetooth or wireless. For example, a smart speaker can be used to turn on your smart coffee pot. Or you can use the smart speaker to activate your alarm system or change your thermostat.

When you get a smart speaker, be sure to set up an individual profile for each family member, and set-up a voice profile for each individual profile. Customize the wake word to a word that your family can remember. Connect your smart devices together in order to control the applications and systems in your home more seamlessly.
