Amazon’s Alexa makes home life more convenient through voice-controlled automation. But Alexa’s usefulness extends well beyond playing music or controlling lights.
Below are five clever and surprising ways Alexa can simplify daily home tasks.
- Adjust Appliances. Did you run out the door and forget to turn off the curling iron? Rather than worrying, use Alexa to remotely adjust or check appliances. Connect smart microwaves, ovens and other devices to Alexa then issue commands like “Alexa, add 2 minutes to the oven timer” or “Alexa, turn off the bathroom outlet.”
- Keep the House Stocked. Running out of laundry detergent or coffee is annoying, especially mid-task. You can voice order replacements through Alexa and eliminate trips to the store. Customize item thresholds and delivery frequency for each so you stay fully stocked effortlessly.
- Manage Medications. Multiple daily medications often lead to forgetting doses. Let Alexa provide helpful, reliable medication reminders by time and dose through voice announcements. Customize schedules for the whole household including pets – Fido won’t mind an alert for his flea meds!
- Make Calls Announcement-Style. Alexa offers whole-home intercom, allowing announcements to broadcast to other Alexa devices. She can tell the family when dinner’s ready or remind the kids to pack school bags the night before.
- Secure Deliveries. Wondering if that package arrived safe on the porch? Ask Alexa for front door camera footage to spot delivered items or welcome expected guests. Alexa also notifies you immediately if suspicious activity is detected. No more worrying about missing deliveries or potential porch pirates!
As you see, Alexa doesn’t just play music and answer common questions. Automation possibilities are endless, whether simplifying tasks, saving time, or boosting household security. We can help interface Alexa with your devices and systems, fully unlocking the convenience and enjoyment voice automation offers modern families. Let our Alexa integration transform mundane home tasks into jobs that are already done.
