And during the execution of the smart device control method, the user can re-enter the device configuration page at any time to change the mapping relationship, or add or delete smart devices, or add or delete audio receiving devices.

In order to facilitate users of different languages to receive the announcements of the audio devices, the language type of the audio receiving device broadcast can also be set. For example, the language type of the audio receiving device B is preset to be Chinese, and the language type of the audio receiving device C is English. At this time, as shown in Figure 4, the gateway device in step S310 searches for the audio receiving device corresponding to the smart device and the gateway device in step S320 sends the voice broadcast data to the found corresponding audio receiving device It also includes the following steps:

S3101: The gateway device searches for the pre-configured language type of the corresponding audio receiving device;

S3102: The gateway device converts the voice broadcast data into voice broadcast data of a pre-configured language type received by the audio receiving device.

Therefore, in this embodiment, by configuring the language type in advance, the customization of the broadcast language type can be realized to meet the needs of different users.

Further, the mapping relationship between the audio receiving device and the language type may be configured by the user through the terminal device. The smart device control method also includes the following steps:
