Use light switch with Amazon Echo - how it works

If you want to operate one or more light switches in your house with the Amazon Echo, there are several options. We present all variants to you.

Amazon Echo: operate the light switch

• Of course, you cannot control the sockets themselves in your own four walls with the Amazon Echo. However, you can use a WLAN adapter in the socket, which will let the power through or block it at your command.
• Simply select the "Sockets" category on the following Amazon website and you will be shown all compatible models.
• If you want to control a lamp via the socket, you can save yourself the detour and buy an intelligent lamp directly. To do this, select the "Lighting" category.

Connect light switch to Amazon Echo

• If you have acquired an intelligent socket or lamp, you can connect the device to the Echo. To do this, you need to activate the relevant skill for Alexa.
• You can then switch on the light conveniently using a voice command. Just say the following sentence: "Alexa, turn on the light".
