This is our current and up-to-date Alexa-compatible devices list for 2023. If it’s on this list, it works with Alexa. Each product link will take you to view Amazon’s current pricing.

Things to look out for:

Some products will require a hub or bridge to connect to Alexa, while others can connect directly to your Wi-Fi network. Each of those products is noted in the descriptions below.
- For those products that do need a hub/bridge, you will only need 1 per system.
When comparing products, consider using the same brands for lighting so that you can keep everything under one app. The same should go for cameras and video doorbells.
Some brands will have some models that aren’t Alexa compatible, so be sure to double-check any product listings before making a purchase.
