Today, the world is changing rapidly with the ever-changing technology. Among other technologies, 5G, IOT and AI have even penetrated into almost every aspect of our lives, making it possible for humanity to lead a smarter and greener life. With more policy support and investment in new infrastructure, and broader market demand, Smart Home industry is experiencing a flourishing development that never seen before. Against this backdrop, many limitations of the traditional switch system has emerged because of its inability to satisfy higher living standards from consumers worldwide. This means that Smart Dimmer Switch has become an increasing popular choice for general public.

When it comes to Smart Home devices, Amazon's voice AI Alexa is absolutely worth of our attention. The Amazon Alexa was launched in 2014, with the goal of making our life easier, more meaningful, and more fun by letting our voice control our world. In terms of its role, Alexa acts rather like an engine in the Smart Home system. Nevertheless, Alexa must work with a low layer hardware – microcontroller platform, for creating a perfect smart home system. AT32F415 MCU from ARTERY Technology (雅特力科技) stands out as a reliable solution in this regard. Apart from Amazon Connect Kit (ACK) feature, this MCU series has been successfully introduced in Amazon’s Smart Dimmer Switch. Based on AT32F415 MCU, Alexa speakers or APPs is getting easier to enable a quick upgrade from a traditional switch to a smart one by adding a voice control feature.

With its outstanding performance and slim design, ARTERY MCU works in conjunction with Amazon’s simple Wi-Fi settings, offering a flexible control of wall switches. This enables customers a quick connection to their home appliances, becoming a best partner for wall switches. You can control your switches from anywhere, like adjusting brightness, controlling your lights to turn on and off, setting timers and creating your routines. All these can be done without the need of smart home hub, additional smart devices or apps. This is why we are able to keep our switches safer, energy-efficient, and convenient.
