Huami launched the Amazfit GTS 2e and Amazfit GTR 2e in January 2021. While the smartwatches come with several impressive features, they did not have Alexa Voice Assistant support. Huami has now pushed a new firmware update to the two smart wearables. The software update, applicable to users in India, will allow users to interact smartly with their smart wearable device to carry out a raft of activities via voice commands that Alexa would execute.
The GTS 2e and GTR 2e are slightly lower versions of GTS 2 and GTR 2. They are pretty affordable and, with the new update with support for Voice Assistant, the two models will remain in top demand for some time within the subcontinent. However, both models do not support Wi-Fi connectivity, implying that they both have a longer battery life than their more expensive alternatives.
In a statement by the Amazfit Team in India, the company notified the public that the much-awaited Alexa for the Amazfit GTS 2e and GTR 2e is now available for users to enjoy voice interaction, play music, provide weather forecast, and lots more. Users were encouraged to update their devices to enjoy the Alexa support.
The firmware for the update is firmware version 1.0.2.31. The update can be installed via the Zepp app, which is the official Amazfit app for smartwatches. Once the update has been successfully installed, users must add Amazon Alexa to their Account Profile on the Zepp app. They will be prompted to log in with their Amazon account, and the on-screen instructions will guide users to the completion of the linking of Alexa.
