Install and run a system at home under the force of each. The video shows a short demonstration of the simple interaction of "Dusi" with Z-Wave socket Fibaro Wall PlugWhich is controlled with an inexpensive USB-controller Aeon Z-Stick.

The controller is connected via USB to a conventional computer. It performs communication between endpoints (sockets, dimmers, thermostats, blinds etc.. P.) And "Dusya" that converts the user's speech into commands for the devices.
