![]()
If you don’t own the Echo Plus but have one of Amazon’s other Echo speakers, you’re going to need a smart-home hub to act as the middleman between Alexa and your smart devices. While it might sound like an additional inconvenience, it’s simple to set up and allows you to pair all of your devices together so you can make your home truly voice-activated. Here's a list of all of the smart-home hubs that are compatible with Amazon Echo.

One of the first household objects to get smart-device compatibility, there are lots of smart-home lightbulbs that work with Alexa and Amazon Echo, available from all manner of manufacturers. With these, you'll be able to dim, turn them on or off and even change the colours of your home's lighting, all with the power of your vocal chords. Many of these bulbs don't require a smart hub, either. Neat.

Amazon Echo devices: Home security, cameras and locks
Smart locks are handy little devices that give you an extra layer of security in accessing your home. Allowing you to lock and unlock your doors with the power of Alexa via a PIN code, you can also view any of your connected security cameras through the Echo Show's display if you happen to have one of those. Want to watch one of your camera feeds? Just give the command – it's that easy.

Amazon Echo devices: Switches and outlets![]()
Smart switches and power outlets give you the ability to turn your "dumb" devices into smart ones. From small electronics to larger home appliances, smart switches allow you to ask Alexa to turn on an appliance through the designated power outlet or switch. They're super handy, and a doddle to set up.

There are some excellent smart-home devices, then, but there are also a few honourable mentions that don't quite fit into the typical smart home repertoire. This miscellaneous category covers devices such as smart water sprinklers – which you can't find in the UK just yet – and wearable connectivity.
