Emporia Energy integrates with both Google Home and Amazon Alexa so you can control compatible devices like Smart Plugs and EV Chargers hands-free using simple voice commands; this guide walks you through setup and outlines the features currently available with these voice assistants.
What You Can Control
Currently, only basic on/off commands are supported:
"Turn on my Smart Plug" – Activates your connected device
"Turn off my EV Charger" – Stops an active charging session
Note: Advanced commands (such as adjusting charge rates or checking energy usage) are not available through voice assistants at this time. For detailed energy monitoring and control, use the Emporia mobile app.
