Ready to get started with that connected-home smart-future we've all been promised? Well, Sony has taken another little step towards it by adding Alexa support - Amazon's voice assistant found in the Amazon Echo - to some of its TVs.
According to a support post, "with this feature you can use your voice to turn your Android TV on or off, change channels, control volume, and more".
"More", in this case, means playing, pausing, fast-forwarding, rewinding, and stopping your content. If you've got multiple TVs, you lucky thing, you can control them individually by saying their specific name; "Media Room TV", or "TV 1" are two examples Sony gives.
Selected 2016 and 2017 Sony TVs will have the "TV Control Setup with Amazon Alexa" app (catchy name) added to the home screen automatically, including the new A1 OLED. To check if your TV is one of the compatible televisions, you can use this list here.
