# TapHome to Amazon Alexa

Integrate TapHome devices with Amazon Alexa for voice control. Learn how to enable the Alexa skill, configure exposed devices, and use voice commands for thermostats, switches, dimmers, blinds, and RGB lights.

Last updated: 2026-11-06

You can control TapHome devices by voice with Amazon Alexa by enabling the TapHome skill in the Alexa app and exposing devices through the Alexa interface. It works with thermostats, switches, dimmers, blinds and RGB lights, and is currently available only for US, UK, Italian and German accounts. You need a TapHome account and the devices you want to control added to the Alexa interface in **Expose Devices**. Once the skill is enabled for the installation you select and Alexa discovers the devices, they appear in the Alexa app and respond to voice commands.

> **Note**
>
> At the moment, Alexa is available only for US, UK, Italian and German accounts. We are working to add more.
>
> Alexa will only be able to control the devices you have exposed through the Alexa Interface and only on the installation you have selected while enabling the Alexa Skill.

- Open **Settings** -> **Expose Devices** and select **Add new interface**. Select Amazon Alexa
