To get started, you just have to enable the Skill when you've found one that is suited to you - or you can ask Alexa to enable Skills via voice. There are several skill categories within the Skills section of the app, including Food & Drink, Music & Audio, and plenty more, as well as supporting all those smart home brands. Skills in the Alexa app enable you to customise your Echo device with capabilities to suit your preferences. There are plenty of things you can ask Alexa to do. For example, you can buy a single Philips Hue bulb and set it up with some of the latest Echo devices, without needing a Hue Hub. Some Echo devices take this a step further offering Zigbee support and in newer devices, Matter support, which will allow you to directly connect and setup smart home devices without needing a separate app or hub for that device. In this sense, Alexa is a great smart home controller - and once linked to Alexa, can be accessed through anything that supports Alexa voice commands. You can connect Alexa to your Philips Hue or other lightbulbs, like Ikea, to turn them on or off with voice, or link to your heating controls so you can check and change the temperature in your house. You can view your Ring Video Doorbell on your Echo Show, for example, as you can with Arlo cameras. It's no longer just about asking for the weather and playing music with fancy voice control - it's also about connecting to and controlling other devices in your home. Smart home control has emerged into one of the most significant areas of Alexa's influence.
