Review on Smart speaker Yandex Station 2 with Alice, black anthracite, 30W by Ognian Mateev ᠌

I didn’t buy it for music (the speaker’s sound is mediocre, and transferring playlists from other ecosystems is not entirely trivial, and music management in general in . Music is 4-, although ’s recommendation engine is excellent. But if their Navigator analyzed my music in car for the last 3 years, it would be strange otherwise, otherwise, how could Alice have slipped me half of the songs from another music service right after the first start? ))). I bought it for a smart home - because of the presence of zigbee (more on that later). Connection is easy. Powered by type-c, which is a big plus for me (later this plus was devalued by the inability to use my own cable). Design is great. Especially the backlight. Just fire. There is attention to detail. Now about smart home. Disappointments: there are 2 of them. 1) my LG TV, except to turn it off (you can’t even turn it on ! ) and turn up the volume - I couldn’t do anything through Alice. 2) Zigbee - for face value, there are too few supported devices without integration with their gateways. It is better to take devices on wi-fi for now. On Wi-Fi, everything works decently, stably, albeit slowly (but this is not Alice\'s problem). I will wait for the expansion of the supported Zigbee devices. I bought supported sensors - I will test further. I bought a smart remote control. He partially corrected the situation. Even YouTube is included on LG smart TV. BUT - somehow you need to teach Alice to process scenarios when voice queries contain the words "youtube", "", "Amazon" and the like. Alice does not include prefixes, services or menu items in my systems named in this way, confusing them with external services or resources. It seems that you can just fix it, but - ? Or suggest a normal synonym for YouTube, , Amazon, etc. :) Even when hdmi-Cec support is enabled on all devices, turning the TV on and off through the remote control may not be correct.
