In this episode, Marcus Chen breaks down which voice assistant actually works with Zigbee smart home devices—and why the answer isn't as simple as picking Alexa, Google, or Siri. You'll learn which setups give you instant voice control, which ones need extra hubs in the middle, and what happens when your internet goes out. If you've been frustrated trying to get your Zigbee lights or sensors to respond reliably to voice commands, this episode will save you a lot of trial and error.
