Alexa Devices Setup 2026 — Control Home Assistant for FREE
In this week’s video, I’m fixing a problem I accidentally created…
I told everyone to buy loads of Amazon Alexas on Prime Day — but I didn’t say how many. Some of you went wild and now have Alexas coming out of your cupboards.
So today, we’re sorting it properly.
I’ll show you the new Alexa device setup, how to make Alexa talk to Home Assistant for FREE, and how to control your smart home without paying for Nabucasa.
You’ll learn how to:
Add the new Amazon Devices integration
Send text commands, sounds, and notifications to Alexa
Use Emulated Hue to expose Home Assistant devices
Make Alexa discover and control your lights
Avoid the common pitfalls (fixed IP, 60‑device limit, etc.)
This method works, it’s free, and it’s surprisingly powerful.
