Can I manage Alexa devices from Home Assistant?

Is there any way the HA can control Alexa devices?

For example, I have an Amazon lamp that I can control with Alexa. I cannot find the way to control it from HA.

I was pointed to “Emulated Hue Bridge” as a component to install in HA. It’s a bit of work but I have had success with it.

Thank you for your reply. Can you please share more information how to connect it?

What worked for me was dealing with Zigbee devices. I believe Amazon uses that protocol. Anyway, with a Zigbee interface already running with a bunch of lights and outlets (using a Conbee 2 stick), I put the following in my configuration.yaml file (your results may vary):


emulated_hue:
  host_ip: 192.168.0.22
  listen_port: 80
  expose_by_default: true
  exposed_domains:
    - light
  entities:
    light.livingroom:
      name: "Livingroom"
    light.sink:
      name: "Kitchen Sink"
    light.bedroom:
      name: "Bedroom"
    light.printer:
      name: "printer"
    light.outlet1:
      name: "Laundry"
    light.outlet2:
      name: "Beer Light"

The deconz addon included the named lights and outlets to my HA entities list. The emulated_hue: included the named devices in my Amazon Smart Home devices. Hence HA could talk to the Amazon devices and Alexa could talk to the HA devices.

Edit:
But now that I look back at your original post, it looks like you are only using an Echo 2 with the Zigbee hub built in and no Zigbee hub on your HA so… never mind. :slight_smile:
