Denon Says Heos Systems to Get Alexa Voice Control in Q1

Denon will enable Alexa voice control for its Heos multiroom audio platform in a Q1 launch, the company said Tuesday. Denon formed a voice user interface team earlier this year, it said. With Alexa integration, users will be able to initiate and control music, get news and weather, control smart home devices and ask Alexa questions, Denon said. The music skill is scheduled to be available on all Heos-enabled devices by Q1. Denon didn’t say whether users will be charged for the Alexa upgrade.
