Amazon Alexa Control

What it does

Alexa Voice Control (Operate Every Switch Through Echo)

Once linked through the Alexa skill, every Beakn switch can be controlled by voice from any Echo device. You can turn things ON/OFF, set fan speed, and dim lights.

Alexa Room Groups (Control a Whole Room — Even Without Naming It)

You can put your Beakn switches into a room group (like "Living Room"). Then one command controls the whole group. Even better, if an Echo is placed in that room, you don't have to name the room at all.

Alexa Routines (Multi-Step Automations)

An Alexa routine joins many steps into one. It can be started by a voice phrase, a set time, an alarm being switched off, a sensor noticing motion, your phone arriving/leaving, or an Echo button press. It can even wait between steps.

Alexa Scheduled Routines (Run at a Set Time, No Voice Needed)

An Alexa routine can run at a fixed time on chosen days, with no voice command at all.

Alexa Alarm Dismissal Trigger (Your Alarm Wakes Up Your Home)

When you switch off your Alexa alarm in the morning, a routine fires and your home gets ready. The big benefit: it runs at the real moment you wake up, not a fixed clock time.

Alexa Location-Based Triggers (Act When You Arrive or Leave)

Using your phone's location, Alexa can run a routine when you enter or leave an area around your home.

Echo Show (A Screen Dashboard for Your Switches)

The Echo Show (5, 8, 10, and 15-inch models) shows your devices as tiles on a screen. Every Beakn switch appears — tap to toggle, swipe to see other rooms, and see at a glance what is ON or OFF.

Alexa Guard (Turn Your Echo Into a Basic Security Listener)

When you are away, Alexa Guard uses the Echo's microphone to listen for certain sounds — glass breaking, smoke alarms, and carbon monoxide alarms — and alerts your phone.

Echo Dot (Cheap Voice Control in Every Room)

An Echo Dot costs about ₹4,499. Put one in each main room and the whole home gets voice control for every Beakn switch.

Alexa Announcements (Broadcast and Drop-In)

You can send a voice message to every Echo in the house at once, combine it with Beakn actions, and even start a two-way intercom (Drop-In) with another room's Echo.

Fire TV Integration (Control From Your Television)

If you have a Fire TV Stick or Fire TV Cube, Alexa is built in. You can control Beakn switches using the TV remote's voice button, and see switch tiles on the TV screen.

Alexa Whisper Mode (Control Switches Quietly at Night)

If you whisper to Alexa, she whispers back — and still does the action. This is perfect for late nights when someone is sleeping.

How to use

Alexa Voice Control (Operate Every Switch Through Echo)

•"Alexa, turn on the bedroom light."

•"Alexa, set the fan to speed 3."

•"Alexa, dim the living room to 40%."

•"Alexa, turn off all lights."

Alexa Room Groups (Control a Whole Room — Even Without Naming It)

•"Alexa, turn off the living room" → everything in that group turns off.

•Speaking to the bedroom Echo, just say "Alexa, turn off the lights" → it turns off only the bedroom lights, because the Echo knows which room it is in.

Alexa Routines (Multi-Step Automations)

•"Alexa, good morning" → kitchen light ON, geyser ON, today's weather read out, morning playlist starts, bedroom fan to speed 2.

•"Alexa, good night" → all lights OFF, bedroom AC to 24°C, fan to speed 1, smart lock locked, sleep sounds for 30 minutes.

•A routine that turns the geyser ON, waits 20 minutes, then turns it OFF — fully automatic.

Alexa Scheduled Routines (Run at a Set Time, No Voice Needed)

•On weekdays at 6:30 AM, the geyser turns ON, the kitchen light comes on, and Alexa reads the weather. On weekends you set a separate 8:00 AM routine, so you wake up later.

Alexa Alarm Dismissal Trigger (Your Alarm Wakes Up Your Home)

•You set an alarm for 6:30 AM but snooze until 6:45. When you finally say "Alexa, stop," the geyser and lights come on at 6:45 — exactly when you actually get up.

Alexa Location-Based Triggers (Act When You Arrive or Leave)

•In an apartment, you set a tight radius so the parking lot doesn't trigger it. As you actually reach home in the evening, the foyer and living room lights switch on to welcome you.

Echo Show (A Screen Dashboard for Your Switches)

•An Echo Show 15 on the kitchen wall becomes a family control centre — clock, calendar, weather, and every Beakn switch. Anyone walking past can tap to adjust the home.

•An Echo Show 5 on the bedside table works as an alarm clock and a bedroom switch controller — tap to dim the lights without a word.

Alexa Guard (Turn Your Echo Into a Basic Security Listener)

•While you are at work, Alexa Guard hears glass break and alerts your phone. A linked routine turns on all the lights to scare off any intruder and activates Beakn's lock mode.

Echo Dot (Cheap Voice Control in Every Room)

•In a 3BHK, three or four Echo Dots cover every room for under ₹18,000. Your elderly parents don't need a smartphone or app — they just say "Alexa, turn off the bedroom light" and it happens.

Alexa Announcements (Broadcast and Drop-In)

•At dinner time you say one phrase: the whole house hears "Dinner is ready," the dining lights come on, and the TV switches off — no shouting between floors.

Fire TV Integration (Control From Your Television)

•You're watching a film and want the bedroom lights off. You press the Fire TV remote's voice button and say it — no need to pick up your phone.
