What smart home devices work with Alexa?

Alexa works with thousands of smart home devices from hundreds of brands. Major compatible categories include smart lights (Philips Hue, LIFX, Sengled), smart thermostats (Nest, ecobee, Honeywell), smart locks (Schlage, Yale, August), smart cameras and doorbells (Ring, Arlo, Blink), smart plugs and switches (TP-Link Kasa, Wemo), and smart sensors. Look for the Works with Alexa badge when shopping. Alexa offers the widest compatibility of any smart home platform, making it a safe choice for most homeowners.

Why It Matters

Alexa's extensive device compatibility means you have more choices and can build your system gradually without worrying about whether new devices will work.
