Jenn-Air® Connected Wall Ovens Respond To Alexa Voice Commands
Easy Upgradability Helps Ensure Ovens are “Future Proof”
Jenn-Air® has been a true leader in using technology in their appliances, particularly in cooking products. A few years ago they launched a revolutionary oven with a 7″ touch full color screen that serves as a culinary center automatically cooking food to the user’s desired doneness. They’ve continued as an early adopter in “smart” appliances with connected wall ovens, that can be operated with apps for iPhones and Androids, and are tied in with Nest home controls. Now, they can be connected to Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant. Here’s how it works:
Simple voice commands have been created for everything from preheating and setting timers to changing temperatures and cooking modes. For example, while hands are busy prepping and mixing ingredients, preheating the oven to a desired temperature can be initiated simply by saying “Alexa, tell Jenn-Air to preheat the oven to 400 degrees.”
Owners of Jenn-Air® Connected Wall Ovens can now use their voices, along with the brand’s existing IOS and Android wall oven apps, to control many essential functions of this luxury, high tech appliance. The new voice command feature, enabled by Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant, is easily activated using the brand’s free wall oven “Skill,” one of thousands available at the Alexa Skills Store.
Jenn-Air® Connected Wall Ovens are already largely controllable using the IOS and Android mobile apps, whether for checking doneness in another room of the home or preheating from across town at the supermarket. They also offer compatibility with Nest thermostats and advanced cooking algorithms that take the guesswork out of achieving restaurant-quality results at home. These and other planned connectivity features can be upgraded over time, helping to ensure that Jenn-Air wall ovens purchased today will be “future-proofed” from early obsolescence.
