Description

The Amazon voice service audio development kit from Qualcomm has been designed for building voice controlled smart home products around Amazon’s Alexa Voice Service and AWS IoT core. The development kit comes pre-installed with the Alexa sample app for quick and easy start-up. The kit is a combination of the WL501 bluetooth module (which allows for greater connectivity) and the Qualcomm QCA4020 SoC Development kit and ASV1108 board which is an intelligent voice suite with integrated voice triggering.

Details

The Qualcomm Home Hub 100 development kit, qualified by Amazon for Amazon AVS, a fully-featured hardware and software kit designed for voice-controlled products with Alexa built-in. It is engineered to help developers and device manufacturers create unique IoT products that work in tandem with a range of devices and cloud systems. It is well suited for IoT applications such as home automation, smart lighting, smart appliances, and networking.

This kit is also designed to support third-party speech input processors supporting voice features such as Wake-on-Voice (WoV), full-duplex Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC), and far-field noise suppression.

It features 8 sensors and actuators on-board that covers the following sensing functions:

• Ambient light luminosity
• 3D accelerometer & 3D gyroscope/rotation
• 3D magnetic field
• Temperature & Humidity
• Pressure
• PIR Motion

It is a perfect option if you are looking for a kit that supports multiple connectivity systems and AVS ecosystems so that you can combine wireless connectivity, security, and voice services in a cost-effective way.

We’ll cover a few of the applications that make this board a perfect addition to any home. Here are just some of the key features of the Qualcomm 100 Home Hub Kit:

Qualified for Amazon AVS

The board is certified by Amazon to work with its own Alexa Voice Service (AVS) so you can trust its ability to work as well as the connectivity and management of any device equipped with the board.

Easy Expansion

Arduino connector to extend kit and add industry standard shields.

Update existing home entertainment items

Smart TVs are becoming increasingly popular due to their integrated applications and Wi-Fi connection, however there aren’t many that come equipped with voice activation/control. The development kit can be connected to the TV which will allow you to control it without the touch of a button.

Car Hands-free Control and Communication

It can sometimes be difficult to change the radio station or even change the volume of your radio whilst in the car. These are just two simple examples of how the Home Hub 100 can be integrated into your car system to make hands-free a possibility. It can also be used to contact people through your phone’s Bluetooth system.

Connect all Your Smart Devices

IoT devices connected to the internet via Wi-Fi provide real-time data to automated systems. With the help of Home Hub 100, any device can be connected to the cloud system in your house or at work.
