🏠 Integrating Alexa with older home automation systems?

[aeri.wish]

Hello all! Has anyone had experience integrating Alexa with an older home automation system? I'm trying to avoid replacing everything but want to add some modern voice control. Tips or tricks? 🎙️👴

Heard about this from a buddy. They got a hub that connects Alexa with their old system. Seems like a solid solution. Word on the street.

Hey there! 🤖 I've actually tackled this myself! Integrating Alexa with older home automation systems can be a bit tricky, but it's totally doable. You'll likely need a hub or bridge that acts as a middleman between Alexa and your existing system. Some hubs, like SmartThings or Hubitat, have compatibility with a wide range of devices, making them a good option for bridging the gap. Just make sure to do your research and check compatibility before diving in! Good luck! 🏡🔊
