Jayco launched the all-new JayVoice system on select models of Jayco luxury fifth wheel RVs. In what the company calls a “first-in-the-industry” type of voice command system, Jayco said it is pleased to provide customers with a more intuitive way to interact with technology. The JayVoice system will be offered standard on Model Year 2022 North Point, Pinnacle and Seismic Alpha models.
“The JayVoice system is something that we have had in the works over the last several years. We’ve been waiting to find the right vendor partner to make this idea come to life and American Technologies helped us get there. This idea was based off of our customer and dealer feedback and we’re excited to offer this first phase in Model Year 2022. More commands to make this system more scalable are to come in the future.
“Our ideas a bigger than the technological capabilities we have at the moment, but we look forward to adding more and more,” said Mike Alpin, director of product development for luxury fifth wheels. “Functions like this aren’t possible without the dedication and hard work from the whole luxury fifth wheel team.”
JayVoice works in conjunction with the existing JAYCOMMAND system to control functions like A/Cs, lights, furnaces and more. The system is prompted by a wake word, “Jayco.” Once the word is spoken, the voice receiver on the ceiling will light up to indicate that it is listening for a command. Simply say “Jayco” and any of the predetermined commands like “Main A/C” and owners can operate a variety of systems with just a few words. The voice receiver is mounted centrally within the RV to allow for utilization in not only the living area, but other rooms throughout the unit.
The JAYCOMMAND system puts RVers in full control of their unit, Jayco said. The system was custom-built by the Jayco product development teams along with various supplier partners, so that owners can monitor and control key RV operations from a phone or a tablet. Paired with the new JayVoice system, RVers can now voice command these functions to occur or still have the freedom of utilizing their phone or tablet while away from the coach.
