It’s no secret that Alexa makes all our lives better. The problem comes when we get hooked but then realize even Alexa has her service limitations.
But the gap between your everyday needs and Alexa’s abilities is quickly closing. Here are the best Alexa accessories for 2020.
1. Analog Clocks
The Echo Wall Clock is all about making sure you’re on time. It syncs all your timers from other devices on an easy to read analog clock.
No need to wind up the hands of the clock to get it setup. Just say “Alexa, set up my wall clock” and you can get the clock set from a distance. The irony of the device is that it shows your timer using a digital display while the time itself is shown as an analog display.
2. Smart(ish) Light Bulbs
Smart Lightbulbs are nothing new, but now you can control up to 10 in the Hue Lightbulb ecosystem using Alexa. There are both white and colored lights available to add to your room’s mood lighting.
3. Earbuds
Need Alexa with you at all times? The Echo Earbuds are a sweat-resistant option to listen to music and give Alexa directions hands-free. The long-lasting battery gives you access to Alexa while on a long hike or jog so you won’t need to rely on other devices.
4. Echo Frames
Look smart while you control your Alexa device using Echo frames. They’re glasses that play speakers and allow you to give commands on the go. These frames are still in the prototype phase, but you can get them on Amazon if you’re a VIP.
5. Smart Video Doorbell
The smart video doorbell is today’s version of a peephole. You can stream live video when someone rings your doorbell or set it up for motion detection. You can see and speak to anyone on your doorstep using this device.
6. Connected Vacuum
Finally, Alexa can help out with household chores. Connected vacuums use a laser mapping technology to navigate your house and distinguish between rooms so you can only clean where needed.
7. Echo Show
The Echo show lets Alexa choose streaming movies and TV shows for you so you can change the channel hands-free. It’s a great option for kids who can’t operate complex menus on the TV yet.
8. Pet Camera
Check on your pet from anywhere in the universe with a Pet Video camera. The connected versions have a treat dispenser to help you give your pet love while you’re out and about.
9. Smoke Alarm
A smoke alarm isn’t the most fun Alexa device, but it’s definitely an added layer of safety for your home. The device checks for both smoke and carbon monoxide in your home.
10. Next Level Nest
The Nest is a smart thermostat that learns your preferences.
