Choosing devices for Alexa

Matter or a skill

Alexa is a Matter controller, so Matter lights, plugs and sensors pair to it directly. Other devices connect through a skill: an add-on from the maker that links its service to Alexa.

Some Echo models are hubs

The Echo (4th generation), Echo Show 10, Echo Studio and Echo Hub have a Zigbee radio built in, so Zigbee bulbs and sensors pair straight to them without a separate bridge.

Alexa needs the internet

An Echo listens for its wake word locally, but Amazon's servers work out what you asked. When the internet drops, Matter devices can still be controlled on your own network.
