Emerson’s SmartVoice devices follow verbal instructions without Wi-Fi or a hub
A new line of small appliances and devices from IAI Smart, billed as Emerson Smart products, are now available that will let you operate fans, heaters, smart plugs, and air fryers with your voice — with no apps, Wi-Fi, or smart home connection at all.

The first devices with this technology include:
