Tapo, the smart home brand owned by networking giant TP-Link, is launching an AI assistant at CES this year \u2014 because isn\u2019t everyone?<\/p>\n
Aireal is designed to \u201cbring AI into real life\u201d (geddit?), according to the company, and will help you \u201cunderstand your home, quickly fix Wi-Fi issues and control your devices using natural language.\u201d The assistant will work across TP-Link\u2019s smart home products and Wi-Fi networking devices and will live in the Tapo and Deco apps.<\/p>\n
This should allow you to use natural language (via dictation in the app) to create new smart home routines or control devices by describing what you want to happen. For example, \u201cStart vacuuming after I leave the house.\u201d You can also ask questions such as \u201cWhy is this device offline?\u201d and get troubleshooting help.<\/p>\n
Aireal is also coming to Tapo\u2019s security cameras, and the company says this will enable AI-generated text descriptions of what your camera captured, rather than just a vague alert saying \u201cpet detected.\u201d It can also merge repeated alerts to reduce notification fatigue and let you search your footage with a few words to find what you need, such as: \u201cShow me the package that arrived yesterday.\u201d<\/p>\n
Aireal brings facial recognition to Tapo cameras for the first time. If you enable the new feature, you can be alerted when your camera detects someone, along with who that person is. The company says the facial ID info is stored in the cloud, encrypted, and transmitted securely.<\/p>\n
Aireal will launch in an early access program on January 6 on select products, including Tapo\u2019s newest security cameras debuting at CES this week: the Tapo C645D Kit (a solar-powered 2K dual-lens pan\/tilt cam), Tapo C465 (a 4K battery-powered camera), and Tapo C710 (a 2K pan\/tilt hardwired floodlight camera).<\/p>\n
Aireal will get a wider rollout in the US later this year. There will be a subscription fee to use the assistant, but the company says pricing hasn\u2019t been determined.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tapo, the smart home brand owned by networking giant TP-Link, is launching an AI assistant at CES this…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":223810,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[345,343,344,108523,85,46,43,13905,920,125],"class_list":{"0":"post-223809","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-artificial-intelligence","10":"tag-artificialintelligence","11":"tag-ces","12":"tag-il","13":"tag-israel","14":"tag-news","15":"tag-smart-home","16":"tag-tech","17":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223809","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=223809"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223809\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/223810"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=223809"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=223809"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=223809"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
