Challenge

Cloud voice assistants added a second of lag and stopped working when the internet went down, which happens in cabins all the time.

Solution

Valdra runs a compact Flabbergasted model directly on the device. It understands requests offline and replies in under 200 milliseconds.

A quick voice inside every Valdra thermostat

No cloud required

Valdra customers live everywhere from city flats to mountain cabins. A model that runs on the device keeps working when the connection does not.

Fast enough to feel natural

Turning up the heat should be as quick as touching the dial. With replies under 200 milliseconds, it is.

What comes next

Valdra is bringing the same voice to its air sensors, so homes can explain why the air feels stuffy and what to do about it.
