Can Alexa control devices that are not connected to the internet?

On November 6, 2014, Amazon launched a smart speaker equipped with smart assistant Alexa on its official website, named Echo.
And with the continuous update and iteration of Echo, Alexa can not only obtain information through voice interaction, but also control home appliances through Alexa, we have officially entered the era of smart home.

 

Since then, manufacturers have launched home appliances suitable for Alexa connection control such as air conditioners, smart door locks, cameras, TVs, lamps, electric fans, curtains and so on
Equipment, the air conditioner has been turned on remotely through Alexa in advance when we are about to get home, and the air conditioner has cooled the whole room when we get home, when sleeping, you can tell Alexa to close the curtains when you lie on the bed, Alexa will automatically open the curtains when you get up, so that we can have a good morning, when strangers approach the door and try to invade your home, the smart door lock will notify you through Alexa, and the smart camera can also facilitate us to remotely view the safety hazards in the room, Smart home brings great convenience to our lives, and also brings security to our security.

 

In the past, the remote function usually equipped with electrical equipment is infrared remote control, and there is no network and Bluetooth connection function, which means that our old household appliances can not be directly connected with Alexa, usually like air conditioners, TVs, lamps and other household appliances The replacement cycle is relatively long, if we want to connect these appliances to Alexa, we need to replace the latest models to be equipped with these functions, and the purchase cost and installation cost are very high.

 

Don't worry, smart technology companies won't let you spend a lot of money to replace these expensive devices, just a small box can help you complete the connection between your home appliances and Alexa, and realize the control.

 

Smart box is a smart chip solution launched by Tuya, the box has the function of a universal remote control, you can control the smart box through your mobile phone and connect with the home WIFI, and then add the equipment in the room such as air conditioners, TVs, fans, lamps, sweeping robots and other household appliances, and finally connect the box with Alexa to achieve the Internet of Things, and then you can control the smart box through Alexa to achieve the purpose of controlling the home, simple to set up, easy to operate, low cost (10-30 US dollars).

You can also remotely view and control the use of household appliances with your mobile phone, see if the air conditioner is turned off, see if someone has invaded your home to burglary, turn on the air conditioner in advance, and wait until you get home The temperature is already suitable, all this is so simple, smart small boxes can be realized,
