"Having a remote for smart home devices may seem redundant. I always get asked, "Why not just use a regular light switch?" And I respond by saying that smart remotes can do more than just flipping the light switch. A single button on a smart remote can control multiple devices with different settings, like running a bedtime routine or switching on all devices in a room."
"The Amazon Basics smart dimmer switch and remote is an Alexa-compatible smart remote that can do almost everything Alexa can, except for answering your questions and creating recipes. 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."
Smart remotes provide more than simple on/off control by enabling single-button activation of multi-device routines and custom settings. The Amazon Basics smart dimmer switch and remote is Alexa-compatible and can perform nearly all Alexa functions except answering questions and creating recipes. Setup is quick through the Amazon Alexa app prompt. The remote supports four programmable buttons, can store routines for each button, and is battery-powered for portability. It pairs with Echo devices to control other compatible gadgets, acting as a silent trigger for Alexa. The remote enables manual routine activation instead of fixed scheduling.
