7.3 Probleme mit der Sprachsteuerung

If voice control is not working:

• If the device has been reset, you need to discover devices again in the Alexa App or link your account again in the Google Home App.
• Supported regions, languages, and voice control commands are subject to changes due to updates on skills/services and policies of third-party platforms. Refer to the IHC App for available voice control commands for supported devices.
