Lyric Controller - Voice Command Supplement

Voice Command Supplement

Overview
Voice Command offers control of Smart Scenes and Video by
speaking in plain language. User-selected trigger phrases
spoken near the Controller alert the system to listen for further
instructions.
Five command phrases can be assigned to trigger Smart
Scenes. The command phrase “Cameras” is dedicated
exclusively to the Video function.
See the Lyric Controller’s User Reference Guide for more about
Smart Scenes and other features mentioned in this publication.
• Voice Command is not to be confused with voice
annunciations of system status (Home > Settings).
• Verbal responses are available in English only.
• We suggest enabling Trigger Feedback until you are familiar
with Voice Command. However, Voice Command can be
used without Trigger Feedback.
• The Controller is designed to hear commands spoken in a
normal voice from about 10 feet away. Background noise
may affect Lyric’s ability to recognize commands. You may
need to speak louder or move closer when there is a lot of
background noise.
Adjust the system’s responsiveness using the Command
Sensitivity and Trigger Sensitivity sliders along with
settings on the Counter menu.
• To test voice recognition without setting up Smart Scenes,
go to the Home screen and say your trigger phrase.
