Affordable Smart Homes: GE Bulbs Now Work With Alexa, Google Assistant

General Electronics Corporation on Monday launched voice capabilities for its smart bulbs. The smart bulbs made by the company will now be compatible with the two leading voice assistants -- Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. "Using voice to control lighting unlocks an entire new world of opportunities for consumers. Ask Alexa to dim the lights without getting up. Ask the Google Assistant to turn the lights off once you start to drift off. There are countless possibilities to add additional conveniences at home through these collaborations," Jeff Patton, GM Connected Home Product Management, GE Lighting, said in a press release.
