I use TP-'LINK to control my lights, no hub needef.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It sets up through a smart phone app. You create what devices you have and setup through the app.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you add WEMO switches Alexa can operate them for you. They can be wall switches or a switch that is plugged into it. The possibilities are endless. I arrive home and say Alexa lights on and the whole home lights up. Remotely they work so my rooms light up for the cameras at night. Ask a best buy rep about wemo products.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You need a smart switch or smart light that is compatable with alexa, then just enable the skill for it and name it. Then it will be voice controlled.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You must purchase a smart plug, and then plug in the item that you want alexa to turn on and off. You would then go into the Alexa app that you have set up on your phone or tablet, and then give that item a name, so that Alexa will know which item you want turned on or off. You can have as many items linked to the echo, you just have to have a smart plug for each one. You can probably purchase them right from Best Buy.
