SmartHQ™, Haier Appliances' voice assistant, works with Amazon Alexa to take our smart appliances to the next level with hands-free voice controls. To use voice control through Amazon Alexa, you must first have one or more smart appliances connected to your home WiFi network through the SmartHQ app.
