Make Your House A Smart Home

Alexa can turn your house into a smart home, allowing you to voice control compatible smart home devices like lights, cameras and plugs. Dim the lights, check the baby cam, or turn on the kettle using your compatible Echo device or the Alexa app. It really is the ‘smart’ way to live your life.

Lights

Having to get up to flick a light switch could become a thing of the past, thanks to voice-controlled lights with Alexa. Whether you’re dimming the lights for movie night, unwinding in the bath with mood lighting, or turning off your lamp while tucked up in bed, Alexa is on hand to help.

Cameras

Alexa-compatible smart cameras offer peace of mind that the things that matter most to you are safe and secure. Using your Echo Show 8 or smart phone, keep an eye on your bub from your bed, see who’s at the door, or check on your pet.

Routines

With a single phrase, Alexa can perform a series of actions, such as providing the weather, a news update and turning on the lights. To get started, visit the Alexa app and follow these steps:

If you would like to setup a default routine, such as Start My Day, where Alexa will give you the news, weather and traffic report, select the Featured tab and view the available options.

Smart Home Control

To be able to control your smart home devices as a group rather than individually (e.g everything in a room), go to the Alexa app and select the Devices icon at the bottom of the screen. Next, either select an existing group or press the + sign.

Touch Control On Echo Show

When it’s time to get some z’s, you can use touch control on Echo Show devices to turn off the lights. First, swipe left from the far right hand side of the screen. Next, tap on the Smart Home icon, before turning off all your connected smart home devices without making a sound.
