Video Doorbell
Ring, which is a part of Amazon now, also offers smart doorbells for your house. The Ring Wifi Video Doorbell 3+ would be an excellent choice. It has proficient motion detection sensors and starts recording any activity. It lets you talk to people at your door even when you’re not at home through the Echo Show.
Light Bulbs
Philips Hue LED bulbs are among the most affordable and accessible Alexa-powered gadgets to introduce into your home. These lighting fixtures work with Bluetooth and connect through it to Alexa on your phone.
You can give out voice commands to switch on/off the lights and reduce/increase light intensity. We recommend buying these for all your rooms. There are no extra complications in installation either; just screw them in like regular bulbs.
Tablets
One of the best tablets you can get right now is the Amazon Fire 8 tablet. It has all the features you will need, and more. It comes complete with an HD screen, front and rear cameras, many variable storage options, and of course, your favorite virtual AI assistant Alexa.
This tablet is a good option that sits at the intersections of affordability, quality product with incredible specs, sturdiness, and good parental control features. It comes with a mammoth battery that lasts up to 12 hours on a single charge. The storage is expandable up to a Terabyte.
Smart Thermostat
The Ecobee smart thermostat is a great choice here. It comes with an in-built Alexa system, a touch screen, and the ability to schedule average temperature to the time of day. You don’t need to buy a separate Echo device for the Ecobee to work.
The temperature sensors and voice recognition systems are efficient and wide-ranged. Besides Alexa, you can give out voice commands to Siri and Google assistant as well. It can help reduce your temperature conditioning bills, the company alleges. The only drawback is that it’s a little pricey. If that’s not a problem for you, go for it.
Security System
A great option to go with would be the SimpliSafe home security system. You can quickly assemble it at home on your own. It comes with many accessories, and you can choose which ones and how many you want.
It works with Alexa, so again, you can just give out voice commands and check security status. You will need a subscription to the SimpliSafe app.
Smart Plug
This smart plug is probably the most useful Alexa-feature device you can get. Put the smart plug into a socket and connect your appliances through it. It turns your regular gadgets into smart ones. You can then just tell Alexa to switch on/off the lamps, fans, heater, and other appliances.
Conclusion
Amazon’s Alexa devices can make your house innovative and upscale. Once you invest in these gadgets, you won’t have to worry about security, high electricity or heat bills, or accidents. Amazon has assured us that it doesn’t listen in to your chats and will strive to do better on all security counts, including privacy matters.
