[CLICKING]
Hi, DIYers.
Joe here from Alarm Grid.
And today, we're going to talk about the voice control
on the Lyric Security System.
Now, you may not have known about this feature,
but there is actually a voice control feature on the system.
It's limited in what it can do, but it is a nice feature,
and it's kind of fun to use.
What you can do with is you can have the system run
smart scenes that you tell it to,
or you can have it load up the camera menu
if you have older model IP cams and roll to the system.
So we have a few things set up on the Lyric today.
We have a plug-in z-wave module right here.
We have the light that it's connected to right there.
And we have the Lyric here.
What we're going to try to do is we're going to set up a scene
so that we turn the light on and have the Lyric arm itself
when we tell it that we're leaving the house.
We're also going to set up a scene
to tell the lyric to turn the light off when it's bedtime.
So first, define where the voice command
section is on the system.
You're going to click on Security, Tools.
And then you're going to enter your master code.
The 1, 2, 3, 4.
Right down here, you'll see where it says Voice command.
And going in here, you have a bunch of different options.
Now, the first thing you're going
to want to do when you load up the voice command section
is you're going to want to do voice training.
We're going to walk through that.
What that actually does is it has the Lyric learn
in your voice, and it makes it easier
for it to pick you up when you tell it to do stuff.
It takes a few minutes to do, but let's check it out.
It's going to ask you to read out different things that it
says on the screen, and it's going to learn your voice.
So if we do Voice training.
Right here it says "Trial 1 of 3.
Please say 'Hello, Lyric.'" Now, you have to wait until it shows
this waveform on the screen, and then it will be able to say
that.
So wait for it.
Hello, Lyric.
So it heard that.
Hello, Lyric.
That was the second time.
It's going to have us do it three times.
Hello, Lyric.
And there we go.
So we've completed the first step.
And it's going to walk you through this entire process.
If we click the Next button, we go to step two.
And it's going to tell you to say something else.
Wake up.
So that one was good.
Wake up.
That time it didn't register, so we have to do it again.
Wake up.
Good.
Wake up.
So those are good.
We're going to go to the next step.
See, it's telling us to say something else.
And you just want to be patient.
Hello, Lyric.
Wake up.
Be patient and wait for that waveform to show up.
That's when it's going to listen.
Hello, Lyric.
Wake up.
And if you mess up, you just get to do it again.
Hello, Lyric.
Wake up.
Hello, Lyric.
Wake up.
Hello, Lyric.
Wake up.
Oh.
Sometimes it's a little clunky, and you
have to do it multiple times.
Hello, Lyric.
Wake up.
Hello, Lyric.
Wake up.
[CLEARS THROAT] Hello, Lyric.
Wake up.
If you do run into this, just keep trying it.
And eventually, it'll go through.
Hello, Lyric.
Wake up.
Hello, Lyric.
Wake up.
[LAUGHS] So we're still trying to get it in.
Hello, Lyric.
Wake up.
We got it.
So we click Next.
Now it's going to ask you to say three different things.
Hello, Lyric.
Wake up.
And we're all set.
So now we've learned our voice into the Lyric.
And as you can see, that process can be a little weird.
But if you just keep trying, it will learn it.
And as you can see, it just picked us up.
So we click on Edit--
or Exit, rather.
Now we know that the system has learned our voice in.
Now, there's a few other options that you do have on this menu.
The Voice control option we're going to go into in a moment.
The Log option will actually show you
all of the commands with a time stamp
that have been received by the system.
And the Counter option.
This is actually how you can adjust the sensitivity
for the commands.
So depending on which trigger we have set up
for our voice for the Lyric--
let's say we're using the "Hello, Lyric" voice trigger.
Hello.
Please say your command.
The level that it receives the last voice command at
is going to be listed here.
If you find that the Lyric system--
the sensitivity is too low even after adjusting the sensitivity
bar, you can go in here, and this
is another way you can turn the sensitivity up.
What you'll want to do if you find that the sensitivity is
too low for a command is find your command
that you've been speaking to the Lyric.
And then under Accuracy, you're going
to want to raise this number above the number that is listed
under the accuracy levels.
What this will do is it'll have the Lyric look for the baseline
accuracy to be the one under this bar,
and it will increase the sensitivity
for that particular command.
It's a little confusing.
It does explain this in the user manual,
though, in a nice, clean fashion.
And it's easy to follow if you have the instructions in front
you.
That's that menu.
And as you can see down here, you
have Command sensitivity, Trigger sensitivity,
and Volume.
Over here, we have a bunch of different options.
This first button turns the voice control on or off.
The second button enables trigger feedback.
What trigger feedback is--
the system with that enabled, it's
actually going to speak to us and let us know that it heard
us when we said something.
If we turn that off, the system won't
register with the confirmation talk
that it's going to give us back when we speak to it.
As you get more used to the system
and get comfortable with the voice command,
some customers do like to turn that off
as it's just less noise in their house.
Most customers, though, will want that feature
or that option to be left on.
Then you'll see on the bottom, there's three different options
right here.
We have trigger "Hello, Lyric. " Trigger--
Hello.
As you can see.
We have trigger "Hello, Lyric" Home.
And we have trigger "OK, Lyric."
Now, depending on which one of these you pick,
this is going to be the phrase that you say to initiate
the voice command feature.
Depending on whichever one you pick,
you're going to have to say those words to the Lyric
to get it to go in to the voice command.
So as you can see we had the first one listed,
which is "Hello, Lyric."
Hello.
Please say your command.
As you can see, when we say "Hello, Lyric,"
it's going to respond to us.
And as we have the Enable trigger feedback--
--command.
As we have the Enable trigger feedback option on,
it's going to speak to us as we talk to it.
So that's how to set up the initial stage of the voice
command.
After you get this set up, what you're going to have to do
is enroll a smart scene from the system
into a voice command trigger on the system.
So as stated before, we have these three options
that we can pick from.
You can only select one.
And that's going to be the first part of your voice command.
Next, you go into Voice control.
You'll see you have five different options right here.
And these are the five different options
that you can link to the voice command.
What goes in here is a smart scene.
You can only have one smart scene per option.
And you can't have duplicate smart scenes in each one.
So you'll have to make additional duplicate smart
scenes if you want identical ones to run
under identical options for whatever reason.
But just know that after you say your voice command,
you'll have to speak these word or words
to complete the command.
So let's say we have our bedtime one, which
is going to turn our light off.
So we click on Bedtime and then select Select.
These are the different scenes on the system,
and I've created two custom smart scenes.
So if we press the down arrow, you'll
see we have one that says "Light off."
So if we just click that and click Save,
that's going to go under the bedtime voice command.
So when we say our trigger command to the system
and then say "Bedtime," it's going to run this scene.
I'm also going to set up one for leaving the house.
So if we select "Leaving the house" and click Select,
we'll press the down arrow.
I've created this other custom smart scene
for this particular thing.
That's going to turn the light on,
and it's going to arm the system.
We click that, click Save.
And now we know after we say our trigger command
and say "Leaving the house," it's going to run this scene.
So to try this all out, if we go all the way
back to the main menu, and I speak "Hello, Lyric--"
Hello.
Please say your command.
Leaving the house.
Pardon me.
Leaving the house.
There we go.
If she doesn't want to listen to you, just speak again,
and it will go in.
Again, you can adjust those sensitivity settings
if you find that it's not registering stuff.
This feature, again, though, it does
seem like it's a little clunky.
It does work just fine as you can tell.
But just repeat yourself if you find that it didn't pick it up.
As you could see, though, our scene is running.
The light did turn on, and the system is arming away.
Now, you can't disarm the system with a voice enabled
smart scene when the system is on.
But when the system is armed, you
are able to tell it to run smart scenes.
Let's disarm it, though, to get it ready for our next one.
So now let's say end of the night,
you're laying down going to bed.
And you just want to tell your Lyric to turn the light off.
So again, using our trigger voice command.
Hello, Lyric.
Hello.
Please say your command.
Bedtime.
Processing "Bedtime" command.
And our light turns off.
As you can see, she didn't want to listen me on the first one.
So I just repeated myself, and it ran the command.
That's the setup for the Lyric voice command.
Know that you can run this in conjunction
with an Alexa or Google Home.
It's a great little feature that you
can use with your system to control a couple
things around the house.
Raising or lowering the temperature,
turning a light on, telling the system to start arming itself
when you're leaving.
It's a nice feature addition.
You don't need monitoring to use it.
It's built right into the system.
And it is functional.
