INTRODUCTION Regardless the level of your experience in smart homes, you would know that it is possible to control the smart devices of your house using specialty apps. However, there is an easier and more streamlined way of controlling the smart devices installed in your house, i.e., by making use of Amazon Echo, and then, telling ‘Alexa’ to control any smart device that is connected to Alexa.
Amazon Echo Support Let us find out as to how many types of devices can be controlled with Alexa. This surely is going to be interesting, so I want you to pay full concentration on what follows now.
Pair Alexa with your home’s lighting On an average day, lights get turned off and on multiple days a day. Sometimes, you forget to turn off the lights, and sometimes, you are just too lazy to get off your bed to turn off or on lights in a certain room. So, forget turning off and/or on lights manually. You can tell Alexa to do this for you, but you need to have smart lighting for that, such as Philips Hue.
Support For Amazon Echo You need to install Alexa app on your smartphone, then tap ‘menu’ icon given at the top left corner, choose ‘smart home’ and now, you will be able to see the list of all home devices that are connected with Alexa. If you want to add a new device, then tap that (+) sign, and you will be able to add any smart device.
Alexa Dot Setup If there are multiple smart lights in a room, then you can set up lighting groups. This can be created by going to smart home section given in the Alexa app. Tap ‘groups’, then ‘add group’ and finally, ‘smart homegroup’.
Connect Alexa To Your Smart Lock Smart locks are getting very popular in the world. Though Alexa won’t be able to unlock the front door, it surely can lock it and prevent the entry of an intruder. Setting up a smart lock is quite easy, you just need to install a Wi-Fi adapter within 40 feet of the smart lock, then, download the smart lock app and create an account on it. The app will act as a bridge between the adapter and the lock. Once this set up has been made, you can now launch Alexa app and choose ‘skills’ from the menu. You can add any skill that you wish Alexa to perform.
Watch Security Camera Footage With Amazon Alexa
This feature works better in Amazon Echo Show, as it has a video screen. It doesn’t matter as to what brand and model of security camera you are using, you will be able to see footage through your Amazon Echo show.
Amazon Echo Setup After buying a smart security camera, you can activate the associated skill. Now, you can tell ‘Alexa’ to show you the front door camera. There is no need for you to move from your bed to see who’s there at the door.
Adjust The Temperature In A Room You can install smart thermostats in your house, which you can control through Alexa. Companies like EchoBee, Nest, and Honeywell have Alexa skills that you can enable by performing a few easy steps.
Talk to almost any device connected to a smart plug
If you are using a smart plug to which you have connected old and standard devices, then you can control all those devices using Alexa. One of the popular smart plugs is TP-Link Smart Plug, which is used by millions of people around the world. These are some of the smart devices that can be used with Alexa. I hope this post helps you find out the true potential of Alexa.
