This disclosure relates generally to optically switchable devices, and more particularly, to methods for controlling optically switchable devices. In various embodiments, one or more optically switchable devices may be controlled via voice control and/or gesture control.
Claims1
A method of controlling an optical state of an optically switchable device, the method comprising:
- (a) receiving a voice command or a gesture command from a user, the voice command or gesture command conveying information for changing the optical state of the optically switchable device to a desired optical state;
- (b) using voice recognition or gesture recognition to convert the voice command or gesture command, respectively, into a text command;
- (c) analyzing the text command from (b) to interpret the voice command or gesture command from the user in (a);
