[ad_1]

Never too late again: Siri voice commands for alarm clock and timer creation

Anyone who is reluctant to rely on their internal clock will certainly know and appreciate Siri's alarm function. The short command "Siri, set an alarm clock to 7:00 tomorrow" is enough to fall asleep. The following commands are also possible:

• "Siri, what time is it?"

• "Siri, change my alarm clock from 6 a.m. to 6:15 a.m."

• "Siri, set my alarm clock at 6:15 a.m."

Sleep through again – Siri can also set several timers on request

With the timer function, punctuality is also child's play, because Siri announces how many minutes are left before we have to leave the house at the latest in order to reach the bus or train in time. Those who like to drink tea in the morning can also enjoy perfectly brewed tea thanks to Siri.

• "Siri, start an 8 minute timer."

• "Siri, show my timer."

• "Siri, stop timer."

• "Siri, continue the timer."

• "Siri, end the timer."

Well informed: Get news and weather via Siri voice commands

Siri as news anchor: Football fans know the frustrating feeling of missing a game because of an urgent appointment and not knowing the results. Siri, on the other hand, is always well informed and happy to provide information:

• "Siri, when does the KSC play?"

• "Siri, how did Werder Bremen play?"

• "Siri, tell me the current soccer results."

• "Siri, show me the Bundesliga table from the weekend."

• "Siri, who got the most red cards."

In addition, she has a lot of interesting facts and news on all (un) possible areas of interest in stock. Just say:

• "Siri, show me trends on Twitter."

• "Siri, show me tweeds from Apple."

• "Siri, what is Trump currently writing on Twitter?"

• "Siri, how is the Dax?"

• "Siri, what's new?"

The first smart speaker from Apple – impressive sound, powerful and perfect for HomeKit control

Siri as a smart weather frog:Late risers, who enjoy every second of sleep in the morning and have chosen the snooze button as their best friend, can run out of time when they get up if they are standing in front of the wardrobe and cannot make up their minds. How convenient that Siri has the current weather forecast ready and tells us if we have bad weather ahead. We just have to ask them: 

• "Siri, do I need an umbrella today?"

• "Siri, will it rain?"

• "Siri, is it getting warm?"

• "Siri, how warm will it be in Berlin tomorrow?"

• "Siri, what is the current temperature outside?"

• "Siri, what is the humidity like in Mainz?"

• "Siri, when is the sunrise on Saturday?"

Siri already knows tomorrow's weather today, the day after tomorrow and next week

Answer knowledge questions quickly and easily: "When is Christmas finally?" – Anyone who has young children knows that this question does not only affect them in winter. Siri is happy to help and even in midsummer calculates how often we still have to sleep until it is finally time that we can look forward to the next gift (or Christmas bonus). Of course, she also answers all other funny questions.

• "Siri, when did Goethe die?"

• "Siri, how many inhabitants does Dresden have?"

• "Siri, how old is Barack Obama?"

• "Siri, how many days is New Year's Eve?"

• "Siri, what day is in two months?"

• "Siri, who invented the iPhone?"

• "Siri, how long is the Neckar?"

• "Siri, how do you write?"

• "Siri, define locomotive."

• "Siri, search the web for 'how do you get rich'? '"

Post news yourself: Personal experiences can of course also be shared with the world via Siri. Regardless of whether it is an anniversary, a passed exam or the discovery of the world's best lasagna recipe, a short voice command is enough and all friends know.

• "Siri, Twitter: I'm 50 now."

• "Siri, post on Twitter: finally arrived in Australia."

• "Siri, new Facebook status: Hamburg marathon won."

Note: The prerequisite for this is of course that Siri is linked to the desired social media account.

On the go: Find out about routes and transport connections via Siri

Sometimes it is very difficult to find your way in the urban jungle. It's good to have a personal assistant with you who can answer the following questions, among others:

Perfectly organized: manage to-do lists and appointments using voice commands

The to-do list reminds itself:Quickly buy fruit, refuel, go to the post office, put out the garbage … Many little things are lost in the hectic pace of everyday life. With the voice commands, a reminder can be set, which saves contemporaries from forgetting important tasks. Of course, a precise time can also be specified on request when the reminder should take place. For example like this:

• "Siri, remember to fill up at 5:30 pm today."

• "Siri, remember to clean the windows when I get health home."

• "Siri, remember to withdraw money when I leave the house."

• "Siri, remember Mia's birthday tomorrow."

• "Siri, delete my 'shopping' memory."

Create and retrieve notes using voice commands:

• "Siri, note: buy butter."

• "Siri, show me my notes from yesterday."

• "Siri, what is an avocado?"

• "Siri, what does an artichoke look like?"

• "Siri, look for videos on lasagna recipes."

"Siri, make coffee!" – Activate WLAN sockets with Siri voice command

WLAN sockets, so-called smart plugs, are the all-rounders of smart health home accessories. They can also be used to connect electrical devices that are actually (still) not smart. For example, music systems, coffee machines, lamps or a fan. Our current overview of HomeKit compatible devices shows which WLAN adapter models fit the HomeKit. If they are appropriately named after installation, the following voice commands are possible, for example:

• "Siri, activate the coffee machine."

• "Siri, turn on the fan."

• "Siri, stop the music system in the nursery."

• "Siri, turn on the radio in the bathroom."

• "Siri, activate the printer in the office."

For example, the radio socket Eve Enery can be used with Siri voice commands

Control smart lamps and light scenes on demand with Siri

If you don't want to be satisfied with just switching your lamps on or off via Siri, you can also set up intelligent lamps directly instead of a WLAN adapter.

• "Siri, dim the living room light to 75 percent."

• "Siri, turn on the kitchen lights."

• "Siri, turn on my reading lamp."

"Hey Siri, I'm cool." – Operate thermostats with voice commands

In addition to fans, thermostats can also be regulated up or down on demand. Once you are smart health connected to a HomeKit and configured according to your own wishes, the temperature change also works from the sofa, bathtub or bed. For example like this:

• "Hey Siri, lower the hall temperature by 3 degrees."

• "Hey Siri, turn off all the thermostats in the basement."

• "Hey Siri, adjust the bathroom temperature to 24 degrees."
