Amazon’s voice assistant, Alexa, will be in charge of communicating with the smart devices around the house. While Amazon does not manufacture smart home devices such as locks and thermostats, they do have one of the most versatile platforms in the smart home industry. Amazon allows third-party manufacturers to create “Alexa Skills” to interface with smart devices through the Amazon Echo as a hub.
Amazon smart hub series:
- Echo
Amazon media streaming devices:
- Amazon Firestick & Cube
More details coming soon.
