“End users with URC’s Total Control smart automation and control system can now automatically or manually brew the coffee of their choice from any URC Total Control interface or even via voice commands in English or German via URC’s TRC-1480 handheld remote with voice control or any Amazon Alexa device connected to URC’s Total Control system,” commented Lars Granoe, URC’s Vice President of Product Management. “And, with the URC’s Total Control system a dealer can even automate their normal routine thru this integration with Home Connect, so end users can enjoy coffee at regular times during the day. This integration takes automation to a completely new level.”
