It has 28.9k installs sharing analytics and needs the vendor's cloud. Alexa Devices is a built-in Home Assistant integration for Amazon Alexa devices, connected through Amazon's cloud. It adds notifiers to announce or speak a message on a device, plus actions to send a sound, a text command or an info skill command. Sensors report the next alarm, reminder and timer, along with a volatile organic compounds index, and switches control announcements, communications and do not disturb. It also provides selects for the default device and Drop In, a voice event, and to-do lists for shopping and general tasks. Setup happens in the UI with the Amazon account email, password and a one-time code from an OTP app. New devices appear without repeating setup, and devices that disappear are removed automatically.
