Replaces the need to have lots of different remote controls for the different devices in your house.
Control devices with your mobile phone and have them all in one place, or link it with an Echo or Google Home and control things, just by speaking to them - no more fiddly buttons!
You can say "Alexa, turn on the television", or "Alexa, switch the TV to BBC 2"
Someone else can help you when you need it, even if they aren't at your house.
Working out which buttons to press on your remote control is getting harder.
You sometimes need a bit of help to get the TV or other devices in your house to behave.
