THE FRONT BOOT ALEXA, MAKE ME A COFFEE ALEXA LAUNCHED AT VIC SHOW! Jayco has introduced voice activation to its Silverline caravan and Optimum motorhome models. The Amazon Alexa digital ‘personal assistant’ is packaged with Jayco’s RVConnect suite of technology. “The introduction of Alexa means simple voice commands such as ‘Alexa, turn on the lights’, ‘Alexa, what’s the weather forecast?’ or even ‘Alexa, change my TV channel’ will be actioned,” Jayco CEO Garry Moore said. Alexa can be accessed anywhere the van has access to wi-fi. The RVConnect suite includes a wi-fi extender that “captures wi-fi signals within a significantly increased range and provides maximum security and mobile internet speed with 4G capability”.
