# Control smart home devices

Alexa can control smart home devices like thermostats, power outlets, lights, switches, and door locks.

Tip: To get started, go the Skills section of the Alexa app and enable the skill for your smart home device.

Just ask Alexa:

"Discover my devices"

"Turn on the hallway light"

"Dim the living room to 20%"

"Set the living room to warm white"

"Make the living room gold"

"Turn the desk lamp to cool white"

"Turn on the coffee maker"

"Set the fan to 75%"

"Turn on the outdoor decorations"

"Set the house temperature to 70 degrees"

"Lower the bedroom temperature"

"Turn on Movie Time"

"Turn on Energize in the Living Room"

"What's the temperature in here?"

"What's the thermostat set to?"

"Is the [back / front] door locked?"

"Lock the front door."

Important: When you enable smart home skills on your Alexa device, anyone speaking to your device can operate those products. Before you enable a smart home skill, please read Safety Information for Using Smart Home Devices with Alexa.

To learn more about the devices you can control with Alexa, go to Supported Smart Home Devices for Alexa.
