What’s New with Amazon Alexa?

A few months back, Nixplay announced that it was integrating Amazon Alexa commands into its smart photo frames for a smarter photo viewing experience. We’ve since improved our functions, continuously tweaking and fine-tuning our software to achieve peak usability.

Improved support for playlist names

Want to display a playlist on a specific frame? We got Alexa to understand hundreds of name options so she can show your playlists accurately.

Improved handling of connectivity requests

When you ask Alexa about your frame’s connectivity status, it will now provide a more accurate reading.

Using a frame name is now supported when specifying which frame to use

Got several Nixplay frames around your home? Now you can tell Alexa which frame you’d like to display your playlist on.

8 People Share Why Memories Make The Best Presents

Still thinking of the perfect gift?

For your loved ones, especially your family, your presence is the best present.

But what if you can’t come home for the holidays?

With a Nixplay Frame, you’ll always stay close to your loved ones, no matter the distance.

Take it from these eight satisfied customers.

“We bought for my mother-in-law’s Christmas present—some family was going out of town on a trip over the holidays and we thought it would be fun to have her interact with her granddaughter through the frame…If you’re looking for a fun way to share photos, this is lovely.” – Babs P

“I’m sending this as a Christmas gift to my girlfriend, so we could share and update photos all the time. This is a good investment.” – Kevin

“We got this as a Christmas present for my mother in law who lives out of state and we don’t get to see as often as we like. She loves photos and is always asking to see more of my wife. When we explained what it was she started crying with joy…I recommend you get one for your parents, they will thank you for it.” – Appleee

“I got this as a Christmas gift for my parents, my brother and his wife, and also for my fiancé and I. As soon as I explained exactly what this frame can do, we were all hooked. Since we all live in different cities…it’s so easy to share photos instantly. We no longer have to download large files in email, or burn a disc and wait until we see each other next. The website and app that come with it are very easy to learn after you get used to it. My parents (who are tech challenged) were able to figure it out after a little tutorial from myself. It’s awesome to be staring at pictures on your frame, and all of a sudden your notified of an incoming picture. Great idea and execution with this frame!” – matticharlie23

“We got this for Christmas for my parents who live in Ohio but have kids and grandkids who live in Iowa and Texas. Now we can send them pictures from Texas and Iowa in an instant directly to their Nixplay Digital Photo Frame. It is an amazing invention!” – Rozanne Frazee

“We recently purchased this as a gift to our children’s grandmother who lives in another state. We had no problem setting everything up for her and adding tons of photos before we shipped it off for Christmas. We actually were so impressed by it we plan on buying one for ourselves!” – Amy Milam

“Our kids gave us this frame for Christmas. They set it up and added initial photos. We’re thrilled with this gift!
Wi-Fi setup was easy, adding a Facebook album was easy, and watching new photos appear as our kids upload them is so much fun!
Kids—seriously, your parents will love this gift. Adding new photos [throughout] the year will be like sending gifts directly to their home. Our daughter lives over a thousand miles away yet it feels like she’s home when I see her photos appear. Easy to recommend and encourage this purchase.” – YaymeeT

“My daughter gave this to me for Christmas and I love it! I don’t live close to my children or grandchildren, and it’s so great to follow their lives through pictures. I now over 500 pictures on it. I love the motion sensor, which you can set to your liking. I have it set so that when I go to bed at night it will turn off so it doesn’t bother my sleeping dog. Recently I had a question regarding sending pictures to friends and their online chat, specifically Joey, was there to help me through the process. So great to have the chat feature in case you have any questions. I highly recommend Nixplay!” – Debby L.

5 Essentials For Your Smart Home

You can use technology for nearly everything these days, from looking up dessert recipes to drafting complex databases and spreadsheets, to creating robots and curing diseases. But on a more personal note, you can use technology for more relatable purposes, like setting it up to control your home with a push of a button. And sure enough, here are some gadgets you can use to make your home more updated on the tech front.

1. Amazon Echo Dot

amazon echo

The Echo Dot lets you access Alexa, Amazon’s brilliant virtual assistant. You can ask Alexa to play your favorite songs, answer your most pressing questions, set your alarms so you’ll never wake up late again, and so much more. You can even use it to control compatible smart home devices to automatically set up your home according to your liking.

2. Nixplay Seed 10.1″ Widescreen Wi-Fi Cloud Frame

Enjoy your photos and videos in crystal-clear HD on the Nixplay Seed’s 10.1-inch LCD IPS display! It’s just the thing that will delight your loved ones and keep them entertained while at your abode.

For a limited time, you can get BOTH the Echo Dot and a Nixplay Frame at a steal, only on Amazon!

3. A Smart Lighting System

Wouldn’t it be the height of cool to be able to walk into a room and have the lights automatically turn on for you? This is what will happen with a smart lighting system, such as the Philips Hue White Ambiance Smart Bulb Starter Kit. You can now control the lights with your voice using Alexa!

4. A Cloud Security Camera System

As much as it pains us to write this, you can’t just trust people these days. If you’re investing in a smart home, you should also invest in a security camera system so you can properly monitor your belongings. Try the Amazon Cloud Cam Security Camera, which captures activity in 1080p Full HD, has night vision, and works with Amazon Alexa. It even has two-way audio that lets you check in with your family and fur-riends while you’re away!

5. A robot cleaner

roomba

Of course, a smart home should be cleaned in a smart manner. And there’s no smarter way to go about this than by investing in an intelligent vacuum cleaner that can clean your place on its own. We recommend a Roomba: It’s a sleek, efficient tool with sensors that enable it to vacuum, sweep, and mop the grime off your floors. Cleaning your house has never been this easy (or fun!).
