Yes, Alexa can automatically turn lights on and off. However, the specific functionality depends on the type of smart lighting device you have. For example, Wyze Floodlight Pro allows for direct control through Alexa, enabling users to turn the lights on/off and adjust brightness. You can even set timers or use voice commands to control them. Conversely, the original Wyze Floodlight doesn’t appear as a separate device in Alexa, making direct control impossible. Since it’s wired to the camera on a single circuit, a physical switch controls both, meaning turning off the switch disables both camera and light. While both floodlights can be controlled within the Wyze app independently of the camera, only the Pro model offers seamless integration with Alexa.
For both Wyze Floodlight and Floodlight Pro, you can utilize smart switches and Wyze Rules to manage the lights. The Wyze Smart Switch, in particular, offers direct control. Compatibility with third-party smart switches and buttons hinges on their integration with Alexa or Google Home. While the Floodlight Pro works with Alexa, Google Home compatibility for this device is not yet guaranteed. Therefore, if you want to ensure seamless voice-activated control of your lights with Alexa, opting for devices with explicit Alexa integration, like the Wyze Floodlight Pro, is recommended. Remember to check device compatibility before purchasing to ensure it meets your smart home needs.
