Users will simply need to say, “Alexa, call mom” to connect with family or friends from the largest screen in the home. Additionally, users can now just say “Alexa, switch to DTH” instead of manually changing inputs, and surf channels from compatible set top box providers by asking Alexa.
The second product that Amazon launched at the event is Alexa Voice Remote Pro. With a price under Rs 3,000, the Alexa Voice Remote Pro is built to help users spend more time streaming and less time searching for the remote.

It comes with Remote Finder feature that helps customers find misplaced remotes more easily.
