Telefónica has launched a new release of Movistar Home, the Movistar smart home device that now allows users to access Twitter Moments, a selection of Tweets that show the best of what is happening on Twitter, and iVoox, the internet platform for listening live radio.
Twitter Moments in Movistar Home shows instantly the most relevant stories in the platform through collections of Tweets. These collections with the best Tweets, created by the Twitter content selection team, show a diversity of opinions and a wide variety of multimedia content on different topics: current affairs, sports, culture and entertainment, among others. Thus, Movistar Home becomes the first home assistant with a screen in the market that incorporates access to this Twitter service.
The integration of live radio through iVoox in the new release also allows users to listen to the most popular stations in Spain through Movistar Home. This is the first step in a collaboration that will soon be expanded, also including access to iVoox’s extensive podcasts catalogue.
The new version of Movistar Home also includes new features such as weather information and new ways to control and enjoy the television.
Launched in October 2018, Movistar Home incorporates Aura, Telefónica’s digital assistant with artificial intelligence, in all its functionalities, allowing users to easily manage all Movistar devices for the home such as the television, the fixed line or the router simply with their voice. Equipped with an 8” LED screen and a camera, Movistar Home is also a window for users to enjoy other experiences developed by Telefónica partners exclusively for Movistar customers.
Agustin Pesciallo, Business Development Director for EMEA, Twitter
This is the first time we have integrated Twitter Moments with a smart home device. In this way, and through voice commands, Movistar Home users will be able to access, read and listen to the best content about what is happening in the world.
Chema Alonso, Chief Data Officer, Telefonica
Not only does it allow them to manage all their devices and services with the company in a simple way through Aura, but it is also a window for our partners to develop experiences and bring them to our customers’ living room.
