What is Voice Control?
You can control certain Chipolo actions using your voice in combination with Google Assistant, Siri or Amazon Alexa. Voice Control allows you to simply ask your preferred assistant about where your Chipolos or Mobile Device is and to ring them if needed. All hands-free, you can check up on your belongings without even having to check your phone.
Before you can use Chipolo Voice Control with your preferred assistant, it is required to have an account set up on your assistant and then link it with your Chipolo account.
Which assistants or devices can I use?
Currently, Chipolo supports Google Assistant, Siri and Amazon Alexa. These assistants can be accessed through their respective apps from your mobile device or by using their Assistant devices.

Awesome! Which commands should I use?
Chipolo Voice Control supports different kinds of commands and questions that allow you to check up on your belongings.
Google Assistant
First, start the conversation with your assistant.
You simply say: "Hey Google", followed by what you would like to do.
Second, ask Chipolo to help you.
After starting a conversation with Google Assistant through your phone or Google Home device, you can simply ask to find your belongings by the name of Chipolo that is attached to it. The names of your Chipolos can be changed in the Chipolo app.
If you use special characters (like emojis) in your Chipolo names, Voice Control may not recognize them correctly.
To ring your Chipolo, you simply tell Google Assistant to find it for you. For example:
- Find my Wallet.
- Where are my Car Keys?
- Where is my Laptop?
The Chipolo you're looking for will start ringing if it's connected to your phone.
Google Assistant will also stop ringing your belongings when you let it know you found it:
- I found my Wallet.
- Stop looking for my Car Keys.
- Stop ringing my Laptop.
Third, success!
For example, let's ask Google to ring Chipolo named "Keys".
- Hey Google, find my keys.
As long as your Chipolo is connected to your device, it will start ringing. In case it is not connected, Chipolo will inform you about this as well.
Amazon Alexa
First, start the conversation with your assistant.
You simply say: "Alexa", followed by what you would like to do.
Keep in mind that Alexa supports setting your custom trigger phrases, so if you have a different trigger set up, you should use that.
Second, ask Chipolo to help you.
After starting a conversation with Alexa, you can tell it which of your belongings you are looking for.
Voice Control understands which Chipolo you are referring to based on:
- Chipolo name.
- Chipolo tag/icon.
If you use special characters (like emojis) in your Chipolo names, Voice Control will not recognize them correctly. It will then simply identify Chipolo by the tag/icon you have assigned to it.
To ring your Chipolos or device using Amazon Alexa:
- Ask Chipolo to ring my phone (or device, mobile phone, cell phone, etc.)
- Ask Chipolo to ring my wallet.
- Ask Chipolo to find my keys.
To find out what the last known location of your Chipolo or device is::
- Ask Chipolo where my laptop is.
- Ask Chipolo where I left my phone.
- Ask Chipolo where car keys are.
Third, success!
For example, let's ask Alexa to ring Chipolo named "Keys".
- Alexa, ask Chipolo to find my keys.
As long as your Chipolo is connected to your device, it will start ringing. In case it is not connected, Chipolo will inform you about this as well.
Additionally, we can ask Alexa where our belongings were last seen:
- Alexa, ask Chipolo where my house keys are.
Alexa will tell you the last known location of your keys, so you no longer have to worry about them.
