Nice has launched its new Nice Voice Assistant that is designed to transform and elevate the smart home experience. Recognized as a winner in the Residential Systems 2025 CES Picks Awards, the Nice Voice Assistant is embedded directly into the Nice Home Management platform.

Context-awareness is at the heart of Nice Voice Assistant. Leveraging over 20 years of innovation and the latest enhancements introduced with NiceOS 8.9, the voice assistant understands user location and device preferences so users can intuitively manage their media, cameras, climate, lighting, and security with natural language control. Interfaces can be associated with a specific area or media zone, allowing users to issue commands without needing to specify a location or unique device name. Homeowners can personalize their interaction by selecting male and female voices and customizing acknowledgment sounds, putting them in complete control. With continuous over-the-air updates, the voice assistant is constantly evolving, adding new features, language support, accent comprehension, and an overall smarter voice control experience.
In addition to enhancing the lives of homeowners, the Nice Voice Assistant is designed to empower dealers. The voice assistant delivers a sophisticated system that avoids complex programming for integrators. With a simple set-up process and standard programming, integrators can streamline installations and reduce support calls.

Key features and benefits of the Nice Voice Assistant include:
- Native Integration: Seamlessly embedded within the Nice Home Management platform.
- Intuitive Control: Natural language processing for effortless interaction.
- Enhanced Speed: Faster command execution than third-party solutions.
- Robust Security: Encrypted data protection for user privacy.
- Continuous Evolution: Regular over-the-air updates with new features and functionalities.
- Simplified Setup: No programming required, with instant device and system awareness.
- Works With Sonos: Seamless integration for enhanced music control.
- Compound Commands: Execute multiple actions with a single phrase (e.g., “Turn on the lights and play smooth jazz”).
- Voice Trigger Phrases: Create custom voice commands to trigger any event map function.
As part of its integration with the Nice Home Management platform, the voice assistant will also be compatible with Sonos. Late last year, Nice became the first partner to achieve a Works With Sonos certification, which allows users to search, manage, and sync their Sonos music with other elements of the smart home, such as lighting or shading. The Nice Voice Assistant is also compatible with Nice SC100, SC300, SC150, and SC350 controllers running Core OS 8.9 or later, paired with ITP Touch Panels and Nice HR40 remotes. This integration enables users to intuitively manage and synchronize their home systems, seamlessly combining control over media, lighting, shading, and more into a unified experience.
