PJSC Sberbank : Create smart home scenarios with Sber platform

The users of smart homes by Sber and partner solutions can now design schedules and create personalized scenarios for smart devices. This is especially convenient with the marketing of the Sber smart relay that can set up voice control of third-party devices through the Salute virtual assistants.

Salute, set the mood for relaxation!

The Sber smart home platform allows users to manage devices using voice and automate sets of their actions. The scenario section of the Salute app is used to set up scenarios and complex voice commands like "Reading lights on" or "Create a cozy atmosphere." You can choose actions for each new command - turn a device on or off, adjust lighting brightness and color, etc.

The relay unlocks more customization options for smart home devices. Allowing to automate almost any device, the relay can be plugged into an outlet or placed on a DIN rail. It can also facilitate the voice control of devices when toggling between on and off.

The Sber smart device line has also expanded to include 2-meter-long adhesive LED strips. The strip can be controlled through the Salute application or any device with integrated Salute assistants - turn it on, off, control color, brightness, set the timer.

Relays, LED strips, and other smart home devices by Sber can be ordered on the official website. The relay is also available on popular marketplaces and retail outlets of partners.

Konstantin Kruglov, senior vice president for new digital surfaces at Sberbank and CEO of SberDevices:

"Home is the key place in the life of any person, a place where you want to customize everything for yourself and ensure perfect conditions at each moment of time: when you have just got up and get ready for a day at work, and when it is time for a cozy evening with the family. At SberDevices, we keep working to ensure that our devices help create an environment that makes you want to come home as soon as possible. To this end, we develop solutions that are equally convenient for large-scale integrators and those who make home improvements themselves."

SberDevices is a Sber ecosystem company and a center of expertise on AI-powered solutions in fields such as speech technology, natural language processing, and face and voice biometrics. Established in May 2019 as a department inside Sberbank's Technology Unit, the company also focuses on creating smart devices for end users and corporate clients.

The Salute assistants are the first family of virtual assistants in the world, each member imbued with their own personality, habits, and manner of communication. Users can pick the character they feel suits them better. In addition to holding a conversation and answering questions, the assistants can also order food, make a doctor's appointment, book a salon appointment, transfer money, or top up your mobile phone. They are available on iOS and Android in the SberBank Online and SberSalute mobile apps, on a number of Sber smart devices, and more. The family of virtual assistants was created by the SberDevices team, which develops AI-powered solutions, as well as designing smart devices.
