It is necessary to select a security product that supports Alexa to integrate your smart-home security system with Alexa. There are many Alexa-compatible security systems that you can choose from to protect your home or family. You can choose which one best suits your needs. These systems include Alexa Intruder Alert, and Alexa Guard. There are also Alexa compatible light bulbs.
Alexa Guard
Alexa Guard security system listens for sounds in your home and activates when you speak. The system notifies you via your smartwatch and mobile phone if there are any noises detected. The system will ask you whether it is an emergency or alarm. If it is an alarm, you can choose to have Alexa contact the emergency services on your behalf.
Alexa Guard's security system can be free and serves basic home security. It can listen out for the sounds of broken glass or smoke/CO2 alarms and can turn on smart lighting through your Alexa account. It can also communicate with security systems so you have peace of brain when you're away.
The Alexa Guard security alarm system has the advantage of being able to be used as an effective deterrent against burglars. An emergency helpline is also part of the security system. It has a trained, live agent that can respond to any alarm. You can call emergency services from your home using hands-free calling.
Alexa Intruder Alert
Alexa offers many features that will make your security system more effective. For example, it can play certain sounds when someone enters your home. You can even set up a phrase for Alexa to use when you hear an intruder alert. You can set it to play loud music, flash light, or ask the intruder if they are leaving the house. However, unlike a conventional security system, an Alexa intruder alert will not automatically call the police. If this is the case, you must take other steps to protect your home.
First, you will need to create an action routine or procedure for your Alexa intruder alarm. To trigger the alarm you can use voice commands, or the Alexa mobile application. After you have created your routine, click Voice or Menu on the Alexa device.
Alexa-compatible light bulbs
Alexa-compatible light bulbs are a great way to control lights in your home with a simple voice command. The lights can be dimmed or turned off by speaking. When someone enters the home, the lights will automatically turn on and off. This technology is ideal for homes who want extra lighting or security.
The best Alexa-compatible light bulbs are the Philips Hue lights, which work with Amazon's voice assistant to control the lights in your home. These bulbs have a wide range of features including color-tunability, and the ability to adjust brightness by pressing a button. You can also trigger some lighting presets by using voice commands.
You can also purchase TP-Link smart light bulbs, which use Wi-Fi to connect directly to your home's Wi-Fi router. These bulbs are inexpensive and do not require a hub to connect to Alexa. The TP-Link LB100 is $20. For $35, you can get a more expensive color-tunable model.
