What Amazon Alexa support means for motion sensors

Amazon Alexa controls devices through the Alexa app and Echo devices, usually through a manufacturer skill or directly as Matter or Zigbee devices on supported Echo models.

Values come from the specification record for each model. Where a manufacturer source has been checked for this field, the evidence column links to it; otherwise the value is an unverified catalog record. Confirm the exact model, region and firmware before buying.

Before you buy

Amazon Alexa setup checklist

Skill-based devices require linking the manufacturer account in the Alexa app.
Matter, Zigbee and Thread devices connect directly only to Echo models with the matching radio or controller support.
Routines can use the exposed device states; advanced settings usually stay in the manufacturer app.
