"Also: I spent weeks with Alexa on the Echo Show 11, and it was awesome (until I started fact-checking) Although it retails for $20, I bought it a few days ago for half off, as it's frequently on sale. Setup was a breeze: switching it on prompted a notification from the Amazon Alexa app on my phone to continue setting it up. Following the prompts helped me set up my remote within a minute."
"Instead of simply turning a light on or off with each one, I added routines to all four buttons. The remote is battery-powered, so you can leave it in one place or carry it around at home. It also connects to your Echo device and can control the rest of your compatible devices through it. Think of it like giving Alexa a silent prompt without having to speak or pull out your phone."
The Amazon Basics smart dimmer switch and remote is an Alexa-compatible device that controls lights and other compatible smart devices. It performs nearly all Alexa functions except answering questions and creating recipes. The remote retails for about $20 and is often discounted; setup triggers a notification in the Amazon Alexa app and completes within a minute. Each button can run a custom routine, allowing one button to control multiple devices with specified settings. The remote is battery-powered and portable. It connects through an Echo device to control additional devices, functioning as a silent, nonverbal prompt for Alexa.
