One touch, clean air: your cooker hood under control
How to best manage the functions of your cooker hood
Modern kitchens are constantly evolving, incorporating advanced technologies that simplify users' daily lives.
Among these innovations is the search for continuous solutions to make controlling kitchen hood functions increasingly simple, smart and intuitive.
Touch controls, remote controls, voice assistants and apps have become the focus of technical improvements, because every aspect of home control must keep pace with the times.
Convenience, personalisation, greater efficiency and connection with your home are fundamental aspects in the modern era.
Sirius has embraced progress and the convenience of usability anywhere and everywhere, developing its own app and offering models of cooker hoods that can interact with commercially available voice assistants (Google Home and Alexa) while remaining faithful to the tradition of built-in controls or remote controls.

Touch control remains a symbol of elegant design thanks to its minimalist aesthetics.
Touchscreen panels can be harmoniously integrated into the kitchen design, giving it a modern and sophisticated look. Another advantage is undoubtedly accessibility: their proximity to the work area and strategic placement allow you to adjust the hood settings without having to leave the worktop, improving efficiency while cooking.

The remote control remains a traditional choice that allows you to control the hood at short to medium range, with the possibility of using all the appliance's functions while sitting comfortably on the sofa, for example.
Above all, it also allows you to control hoods that cannot incorporate a control because it would be inconvenient to reach, such as ceiling hoods, while also helping to preserve the aesthetic concept of minimalism and cleanliness, as in the STONE downdraft model, which can be operated by remote control to ensure complete camouflage in the kitchen worktop.

The app and voice assistants are the result of a new society that demands connection and management anywhere and at any time, as well as simultaneous connection with new-generation domestic helpers.
The choice between the various commands available depends on habits and usage trends, but as with everything else nowadays, it is not so much a question of identifying which of the alternatives is best, but rather of providing the user with the alternatives themselves, and Sirius has always been a pioneer in its open-minded approach of leaving the user free to choose.
