"I have had Alexa Echo devices from Amazon in my house for years, so when it's time for bed, all I have to say is "Alexa, turn off the lamp" to darken our bedroom. I also use my voice to play music or get answers to questions, especially now that Amazon has upgraded my devices to Alexa+, which uses AI and a large language model similar to ChatGPT to provide detailed answers to almost anything I might ask."
"The switch, which is wireless and runs off a coin-size battery, can be placed anywhere and can run eight different routines by programming a short and long press for each of its four buttons. I have it set up to turn the light on with a short press of the top button, turn it off with the bottom button, and use long presses to dim or brighten the bulb."
Alexa Echo devices enable voice control of lights, music, and questions; Alexa+ uses AI and a large language model for detailed answers. Google Assistant offers similar functions. Physical button controls can be preferable for silent tasks such as adjusting lights or the heater while someone sleeps. An Amazon Basics Smart Dimmer Switch and Remote pairs with Alexa, is battery-powered and wireless, and supports eight routines via short and long presses on four buttons. Buttons are configured to control lights, heating, dehumidifier, music, security, garage lighting timers, and routines that turn off all lights at midnight and start morning heat and charger cycles.
