8 amazing things to do with SoundBox by Netgem! (later june 2017, Amazon Echo, Alexa...)

YES, what you do with "Amazon’s voice-controlled assistant, Alexa",
will be possible with SoundBox by Netgem!

=> ... NetGem within the U.Okay. will comply with go well with later this month (june 2017)...."


(According to Netgem, the integration of a voice assistant, compatible with Amazon Alexa, further places SoundBox at the heart of the connected home....)

Just imagine on your sofa doing with your SoundBox by Netgem, what you do with the "Amazon Echo":

"(...)
1. Control lights and heating
Controlling lighting with Amazon Echo
Amazon Echo works with a number of smart home products to control your heating and lights, including Netatmo, Hue and Tado.
We used Hive in our test, meaning you can simply say ‘Alexa, turn the living room light off’. You can also say ‘Alexa, turn the living room light to 50%’ if you’d like to dim it a little too.
HIve
Where Hive heating is concerned, simply say, ‘Alexa, turn the heating to 20 degrees’ and it’ll do the work for you.

2. Control music
Controlling music with Amazon Echo
If you have Amazon Prime Music or Spotify, you can control your music – and you don’t even need to be hooked up to a smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth.
Simply shout out, ‘Alexa, play the Rolling Stones’ and their hits will play. You can choose to shout out a specific song title, artist, album and even playlists. Commands such as ‘next’, ‘pause’ and ‘shuffle’ also work.
Amazon recently started an Amazon Music Unlimited subscription service too, which will work with the Echo. To access it on Echo devices alone, it costs just £3.99 a month, while all devices costs £9.99 a month (or £7.99 if you’re an Amazon Prime member).
If you don’t have any of these, you can still connect other streaming services or downloaded music you might have on a smartphone or tablet using Bluetooth. ‘Next’ and the other usual commands will still work but you won’t be able to shout out for specific songs, artists or albums.
Don’t have any of those? There’s also the free radio app TuneIn – simply say, ‘Alexa, play Radio 2’ and the live stream will start. You can listen to just about any radio station from across the world, live and free.

3. The latest news headlines – including UEFA Champions League results
Sports updates with Amazon Echo
There are a number of news providers to choose from, including BBC Minute, which provides a roundup of the world’s news in 60 seconds. All you have to do is set up your default news provider in the Alexa app and after that you can simply shout, ‘Alexa, what are the latest news headlines?’ (Or any other sentence to that effect.)
More recently, Amazon has added everything UEFA, so you can ask for all the latest scores from the Champions League, Europa League and European qualifiers.
And don’t forget, you can watch all the UEFA Champions League matches exclusively on BT Sport.

 4. Ordering your favourite local takeaways
Local takeaways with Amazon Echo
If you have a favourite takeaway you order regularly through Just Eat, you can instantly order it again with the Amazon Echo.
Simply shout ‘Alexa, ask Just Eat to re-order China Garden’ and it’ll carry out the order for you. Saying ‘Alexa, ask Just Eat where’s my food’ will also provide an update on your order’s status.
Unfortunately you can’t make completely new orders through Just Eat yet, but the company is working on new commands for the future.

 5. Doing your shopping
Shopping with Amazon Echo
Like to shop on Amazon? Prime members can now order products instantly using their voice. Simply say, ‘Alexa, order dog food’ or anything else of interest and it’ll do it for you.
If you’re shopping elsewhere, be sure to use the handy shopping list tool – called a Skill - too. Just say, ‘Alexa, add bread, milk, tea bags and deodorant to my shopping list’. Then when you’re out, open the Alexa app on your phone and it’ll be listed there for you.

 6. Traffic updates
Checking travel with Amazon Echo
If you’re worried the busy roads will make you late in the morning, Alexa will keep an eye on your commute. Just ask ‘Alexa, what’s the traffic like right now?’ for the latest updates.
If you use the train to get around, you can also keep an eye on your route. Set up a regular route to work using the Alexa app, and every morning just ask, ‘Alexa, ask National Rail to check my commute’. You’ll then know if everything’s running smoothly or if there’s trouble on the line.

7. Controlling your TV
Logitech Harmony
Logitech's Harmony remote already makes it easier to control your smart home at a click of your button, but by hooking up with Alexa you can control your TV with your voice.
Simply say, "Alexa, tell Harmony to change to BT Sport 1" and it'll change over. You can also ask for the TV to be switched on and to adjust the volume.
To find out more about Logitech Harmony, click here.

8. Controlling everything from your car
Logitech ZeroTouch
If you're driving, the last thing you want to do is fiddle with your phone - it's illegal after all - so Logitech’s ZeroTouch might be the answer.
ZeroTouch is a handy car mount with voice control and Alexa integration, meaning you can use all the same commands you would at home directly from your car.
Some newer cars have support for Amazon Echo built in, but the beauty of ZeroTouch is that it uses your existing smartphone so it really doesn't matter how old your car is. (...)"

Netgem: du PAF au PAP (Perspectives 2017, Plateforme, cloud, maison connectée, Scalable, Sure)

(6 juin 2017)
Netgem 
Du “PAF” au “PAP”, 
vers de nouveaux modèles 



Produits: 
une suite logicielle pour la maison connectée, ouverte et bout-en-bout

1. PLATEFORME CLOUD Scalable, Sure, Economique La virtualisation des services de set-top box
2. APPLICATIONS MULTI-ÉCRANS Personnelle, Simple, Fluide L’expérience TV de demain sur tous les écrans 
3. MIDDLEWARE Stable, compact, ouvert Pour connecter les équipements en préservant les données privées 

Le futur de notre industrie: 

Orange is to ‘virtualise’ its set-top box, removing the TV decoder from its dual-box Livebox device completely within the next five years… The box will disappear into the cloud. Stéphane Richard, PDG Orange, April 2017 

● Netgem a anticipé et met en oeuvre cette révolution depuis plus de 3 ans par        ses investissements sur sa plateforme dans le Cloud
  

● Elle fixe le cap stratégique et les objectifs financiers des prochaines années

Des conséquences sur le modèle d’affaires:

● Réduction de la “dépendance économique” au hardware confirmé par l’accord ZTE 

● Le chiffre d’affaires et la marge continueront à être impactés à court terme par cette évolution. La génération de cash devrait être favorablement impactée par la réduction du BFR 

● La marge générée par le business cloud croît avec la base de clients finaux (modèle SaaS) 

● Le passage de concurrent à partenaire ouvre des opportunités nouvelles de développement d’affaires pour valoriser les actifs logiciels auprès d’équipementiers


Perspectives 2017 
´
● Accompagner la croissance naturelle de nos clients et la dynamique de virtualisation 

● Poursuivre l’effort d’élargissement de nos marchés 
○ Ajouter un effort indirect grâce aux équipementiers 

● Enrichir notre plateforme de services 
○ Toujours plus de services vidéo 
○ Première étape d’élargissement avec la musique (accord stratégique Voxtok) 
○ Préparer la phase suivante vers la maison connectée
