Abstract: An electrical switch responds to acoustic inputs. A microphone integrated into the electrical switch generates electrical signals in response to the acoustic inputs. A network interface integrated into the electrical switch provides addressable communication with controllers, computers, and other networked devices. The electrical switch may thus be installed or retrofitted into the electrical wiring of all homes and businesses. Users may thus speak voice commands, which are received by the electrical switch and sent for voice control of appliances and other automation tasks.

Abstract: An electrical receptacle responds to acoustic inputs. A microphone integrated into the electrical receptacle generates electrical signals in response to the acoustic inputs. A network interface integrated into the electrical receptacle provides addressable communication with controllers, computers, and other networked devices. The electrical receptacle may thus be installed or retrofitted into the electrical wiring of all homes and businesses. Users may thus speak voice commands, which are received by the electrical receptacle and sent for voice control of appliances and other automation tasks.

Abstract translation: 电插座响应声输入。 集成到电插座中的麦克风响应于声输入而产生电信号。 集成到电气插座中的网络接口提供与控制器，计算机和其他网络设备的可寻址通信。 因此，电气插座可以安装或改装到所有家庭和企业的电线中。 因此，用户可以说话音命令，这些命令由电插座接收并被发送以用于设备和其他自动化任务的语音控制。
