New Amazon Alexa Integration

We’re excited to announce our integration with Amazon Alexa. It’s our first step towards bringing you the voice-controlled smart security home of the future.

Now you can use voice command to control the light(s) on your Kuna Powered security device(s). With our new Alexa integration, you can now say things like:

“Alexa, turn off my Smart Security Light.”

There are two ways to define these name(s):

1. Use the name(s) you set up already – these are shown in the Kuna app device settings and can be changed at anytime.

2. Create groups in the Alexa app, like “Backyard Lights”, to control multiple devices (even devices that are not Kuna Powered) at the same time.

If you add more devices from the Kuna App, you can rediscover them by asking Alexa to:

“Discover my devices”

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I turn the lights on/off for all of my Kuna Powered Devices at once? Yes! You can use the Group function within the Alexa app to group all of your Kuna Powered Devices together.
