5 devices that bring you closer to realizing the dream of controlling everything with Alexa

It's been a long, long time since we've come across anything as universally loved as Amazon Alexa. It makes sense, of course, since it's such a smart solution. By creating a reliable voice-powered virtual assistant and allowing third-party companies to integrate it into their own devices, Amazon has the perfect recipe for an ecosystem that can expand indefinitely.

That's the real beauty of Alexa — it's not limited to just Amazon devices. The Amazon Echo and Echo Dot are fantastic, but that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to making the most of Alexa. Below, you'll find five third-party devices we love that all work with Alexa, including our favorite smart lock, our favorite smart thermostat, and a tiny little box that adds Alexa support to devices that don't have Amazon's personal assistant built in.

Ecobee3 Thermostat with Sensor

  • Works with Amazon Alexa for voice control (Alexa device sold separately)
  • Smart, really smart - intuitively understands when to turn on your heating or cooling equipment based on your home's unique energy profile, the weather outside, and thousands of other data points to make sure you're comfortable at all times
  • Knows you have a life - senses whether anyone's home and which rooms are occupied, delivering comfort when you're at home and saving you energy and money when you're not
  • Lowers your energy bills - ecobee saves homeowners an average of 23%* annually, paying for itself in energy savings (*Learn more at ecobee.com/savings)
  • Homekit-enabled Ecobee3 - the world's first homekit-enabled smart thermostat - is an evolution of our previous Ecobee3 smarter wi-fi thermostat.

Posted: 08 Apr 2017 11:36 AM PDT

In big win for Trump, Senate approves his conservative court pickBy Lawrence Hurley and Andrew Chung WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Republican-led Senate on Friday gave Donald Trump the biggest triumph of his young presidency, confirming his Supreme Court nominee over stout Democratic opposition and restoring a conservative majority on the highest U.S. judicial body. The Senate, which last year refused to consider Democratic former President Barack Obama's nominee to the court, voted 54-45 to approve Republican Trump's pick, Colorado-based federal appeals court judge Neil Gorsuch, to the lifetime job.

Congo's Kabila names opposition figure Tshibala prime minister

Posted: 08 Apr 2017 11:19 AM PDT

Congo's Kabila names opposition figure Tshibala prime ministerBy Aaron Ross DAKAR (Reuters) - Democratic Republic of Congo President Joseph Kabila named a former member of the largest opposition party as prime minister on Friday, a move likely to further divide Kabila's opponents after talks to negotiate his exit from power broke down. A statement from the presidency named Bruno Tshibala as prime minister in a new transitional government meant to organise a presidential election by year-end following Kabila's refusal to step down when his mandate expired in December. Opponents of Kabila, who has ruled Congo since his father's assassination in 2001, suspect he intends to repeatedly delay elections until he can organise a referendum to let himself stand for a third term, as his counterparts in neighbouring Congo Republic and Rwanda have done.

North Korea calls U.S. strikes on Syria 'unforgivable'

Posted: 08 Apr 2017 10:45 AM PDT

North Korea calls U.S. strikes on Syria 'unforgivable'By Ju-min Park and Jack Kim SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea said on Saturday U.S. missile strikes against a Syrian airfield on Friday were "an unforgivable act of aggression" that showed its decision to develop nuclear weapons was "the right choice a million times over". The response by North Korea's foreign ministry, carried by the official KCNA news agency, was the first since U.S. warships in the Mediterranean Sea launched dozens of missiles at a Syrian air base which the Pentagon says was involved in a chemical weapons attack earlier in the week. "The U.S. missile attack against Syria is a clear and unforgivable act of aggression against a sovereign state and we strongly condemn this," KCNA quoted an unnamed spokesman for the North Korean foreign ministry as saying.

Argentina tells Barrick to overhaul Veladero gold mineBy Caroline Stauffer and Susan Taylor BUENOS AIRES/TORONTO (Reuters) - Argentina mining officials told Barrick Gold Corp it must overhaul environmental and operating processes at its Veladero mine, following last week's cyanide solution spill, while the country's environment ministry asked for a total suspension of operations, according to statements on Friday.

Badass bird stuntin' for security camera is definitely up to something

Posted: 08 Apr 2017 06:52 AM PDT

Badass bird stuntin' for security camera is definitely up to somethingThe worst part about having a home security system is the terror that comes with getting an intruder alert. Like, sure, you know there's an intruder, now what? But sometimes the intruders are far from harmful. Sometimes they're downright cute. SEE ALSO: Watch this badass mouse scare the crap out of cop Twitter user @mozo6 posted this picture of a bird that set off her security camera's intruder alert and it's terrifying. Just take a look for yourself: there was an intruder alert on the security cam at my house today pic.twitter.com/7z5H9sGckF — Molz (@molzo6) April 4, 2017 There are a few really great things about this bird, the first being that it genuinely looks like it wants to hit that camera with a baseball bat and start conducting some criminal bird-tivities. It looks so aggressive and skeptical.  Has anyone actually checked to make sure it didn't proceed to peck the camera until it cracked, allowing its henchmen to enter the house? Just asking the questions that need to be asked. Other people were skeptical of its innocence as well:  @molzo6 @charlesarthur It all seems innocent, but while you were looking at that a squirrel with a crowbar was jimmying open the kitchen window — Austyn Allison (@maustyn) April 6, 2017 Oh no, squirrels are involved too? That's never good news. @molzo6 "I know where you live.And where you keep the seed." — Draygo (@AcetheGolden) April 6, 2017 Intimidation tactics are very possibly at work here, and they've never looked cuter. WATCH: Why get a puppy when you can have a snuggly lizard instead?

Syrian presidency vows to step up campaign against militants

Posted: 08 Apr 2017 06:00 AM PDT

Syrian presidency vows to step up campaign against militantsThe Syrian presidency said a U.S. missile attack on a Syrian army air base in Homs had increased Syria's resolve to defeat insurgent groups, vowing to step up the pace of operations against them. "This aggression has increased Syria's resolve to hit those terrorist agents, to continue to crush them, and to raise the pace of action to that end wherever they area," a statement from the presidency said. The statement described the U.S. attack as rash and irresponsible and showing Washington was "naively pulled behind a false propaganda campaign" - a reference to accusations that the Syrian government carried out a chemical attack this week.

Elaborate Mosaics Unearthed in 'Lost' Roman CityHidden for centuries, mosaic floors from the lost Roman city of Ucetia have been uncovered in France. A large excavation is underway in the town of Uzès in southern France to unearth more of the remains of this ancient Roman settlement, the existence of which archaeologists had only hints of until the dig. The nearby city of Nîmes is more famous for its Roman history, largely thanks to the A.D. 70 amphitheater, where events, including bullfights, still take place.
