With the new Alexa integration, SwitchBot Air Purifier users can ask "Alexa, is the [device name] open/closed?" to check its status, or use voice commands to turn it on/off and adjust modes. The integration aims to provide more convenient control over smart home devices through voice commands. Govee's pixel light boards gain new Alexa routines, allowing users to create customized lighting scenes triggered by voice. Users can also control brightness and colors using voice commands. Navimow robotic mowers can now be controlled via Alexa, enabling users to start, stop, or schedule mowing sessions with voice commands. This offers a hands-free way to maintain lawns and manage mowing schedules.
