The Arlo Q is the best home security camera for its ease of use and great 1080p video, day or night. It also comes with a generous 7-day storage plan, even if you don’t sign up for one of Arlo’s security camera cloud storage plans.
If you have an Alexa device with a display, such as the Amazon Echo Show or an Amazon Fire TV, you can ask Alexa to stream a live feed from the Arlo Q, which is handy if you’re in one room of your house but want to hear what’s going on elsewhere.

LG’s CX OLED TV is one of the best TVs we’ve reviewed due to its truly impressive display in a super-sleek design, but what makes this one of the best Alexa compatible devices is that Amazon’s assistant is baked in, letting you can turn your TV on and off, adjust the brightness, switch channels, change volume, and even initiate YouTube streaming using nothing but your voice.
This 4K set also supports Dolby Vision, HDR10, HLG, as well as HDMI 2.1. But TVs are more than just picture quality, and LG’s ThinQ AI makes this set truly smart. Don’t like Amazon? The CX supports Google Assistant too.

Like the Sonos One, the $399 Sonos Beam soundbar Is one of the best Alexa compatible devices because it has Alexa built right in. Not only is this device a high-quality Sonos smart speaker with four full-range woofers, but it also has an HDMI ARC port, which helps sync the speaker’s audio to your TV.
At 26 inches wide and 4 inches deep, the Beam is pretty compact for a soundbar, so it will fit on most TV stands. As with other Sonos devices, you can use the Beam to play music even when your TV is off, and you can stream from hundreds of sources via Sonos’app. While it lacks the bass oomph of the larger Sonos Playbase, this is an excellent soundbar for less than $400.

SimpliSafe is one of the best DIY home s ecurity systems because it’s a cinch to set up, has a ton of options when it comes to sensors and accessories—it even has its own smart lock—and offers optional professional monitoring for a reasonable price. But it’s also one of the best Alexa compatible devices because you can use Amazon’s assistant to arm your Simplisafe system as you walk out the door.
Simplisafe Essentials costs around $200, and comes with a base station, a keypad, three door/window sensors, and a motion detector; you can purchase additional sensors if you so choose. Simplisafe’s professional monitoring fees start at $15/month, but if you want features such as smart home connectivity with Alexa, August, and Google Assistant, the fee increases to $25 per month.
How to pick the best Alexa compatible devices for you
Just about every smart home product works with Alexa, so knowing which are the best can be tricky. Things you’ll want to consider include the following:
Design: Is this a well-made product? In the case of a smart plug, for instance, is it slim enough so that it doesn’t block your other outlet? Functionality: What features does the smart home device have? If it’s a smart plug or a smart light, does it have a Home/Away feature, and can you schedule it to turn on at sunset? Price: Often, the cheapest smart home device is not the best. You may be tempted by a $10 gadget, but make sure it meets your needs before buying it.
How we test the best Alexa compatible smart home devices
When reviewing any smart home device, we look at a few things before assigning it a rating:
Ease of setup: How simple is the device to install?
Features: What features does the device have relative to others in its price range?
Performance: Does it actually work as advertised? Is its app easy to use, with a sensible layout?
Price: How expensive is it when compared to similar devices? While this isn’t the most critical criteria, it is a factor in its final rating.
