Yandex Qazaqstan has introduced a portable smart station and a budget-friendly smart speaker for the smart home

The lineup of smart speakers available in Kazakhstan from Yandex Qazaqstan has been replenished with two new devices. The Station Street became the first portable speaker with Alice. The Station Mini 3 Pro is the most affordable solution for full-fledged smart home control. Sales will start this summer.

Station Street

You can take the Station Street with Alice anywhere — on a picnic, on a trip, or to a workout. The speaker's battery lasts up to 12 hours when connected to a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot. Voice control of music works even without the internet, and if you connect the speaker to a smartphone in modem mode, all the usual features of Alice will become available.

To listen to music through the Station Street without the internet, simply connect the speaker to your smartphone via Bluetooth. Managing tracks remains convenient — just say to the speaker "next," "louder," or "stop," and Alice will execute the command.

The sound in the Station Street is specifically tuned for open spaces, but the speaker will also sound voluminous indoors. It has a power of 30 W, thanks to two speakers and two passive radiators — special elements in the speaker that convert internal sound pressure into rich bass.

The Station Street will be available in black and green colors. The device also has dust and water protection according to the IP67 standard.

Station Mini 3 Pro

The new Station Mini 3 Pro with Alice can become a full-fledged hub for smart home control thanks to support for popular protocols — Zigbee, Wi-Fi, and Matter over Wi-Fi. The built-in Zigbee module allows the speaker to control smart devices without the internet. Until now, control of such devices was only available in the older models of Stations from Yandex Qazaqstan.

Despite its compact size, the Station Mini 3 Pro delivers high-quality sound with deep bass in any room. For this, the speaker is equipped with an 18 W speaker.

One of the main features of the new speaker is the ability to connect an external battery or a climate module to it. They attach to the body using a special mount. With the battery, the speaker can continuously play music for up to seven hours. And the climate module will help monitor the air quality in the room. It is equipped with sensors for temperature, humidity, and CO2 levels.
