Are you like the millions of people who are turning their space into a “smart home”? This, of course, is a home that is equipped with electronic devices that can be controlled remotely by computer or phone.
This practice is becoming so common that the world of virtual assistants has opened up. Instead of tapping one app to play your music, then another app to turn on your lights, and another to turn down the thermostat, you can do all of that from just a single Home Hub.
One of the most popular virtual assistants is Amazon’s Alexa. You can find Alexa in many Amazon products such as the Echo, Dot, and Tap.
Amazon is constantly updating the performance of Alexa. The virtual assistant is now able to assist you with over 15,000 skills.
Alexa is also making its way into non-Amazon products. We recently told you about the Lenovo Smart Assistant, which looks similar to the Amazon Echo but has some subtle differences.
Now that Alexa won’t be limited to Amazon products, it’s bound to come to many more homes. If you don’t have an Alexa enabled gadget right now, maybe you will someday.
That’s why we are going to tell you about some such useful commands of Alexa that you may not know about.
