Is Alexa Z-Wave or Zigbee?​

Amazon Alexa does not directly support Z-Wave devices but it does support Zigbee devices, especially through devices like the Amazon Echo Plus which has built-in Zigbee compatibility. When it comes to Z-Wave connectivity, you need a separate Z-Wave hub or controller to bridge the gap between your Z-Wave devices and Alexa. This allows you to control your Z-Wave devices through voice commands with the help of Alexa.

If you want to connect your Alexa device to your Z-Wave devices, you will need a Z-Wave hub that is compatible with Alexa. You can then pair your Z-Wave devices with the Z-Wave hub and link the hub to your Alexa account. This way, Alexa can communicate with your Z-Wave devices via the Z-Wave hub.

If you have both Z-Wave and Zigbee devices in your smart home network, you will need separate hubs for each protocol. Alexa can communicate with Zigbee devices directly if you have a Zigbee-enabled Echo device, but for Z-Wave devices, you will need a Z-Wave hub to act as a bridge for Alexa to control them.

In summary, while Alexa natively supports Zigbee devices, you will need additional hardware in the form of a Z-Wave hub to connect your Z-Wave devices to Alexa for voice control and automation.
