Vera Control

Customers worldwide trust Vera controllers to remotely control, monitor and automate their homes. Vera works with devices from hundreds of trusted brands.

Ask Alexa to control your light bulbs, on/off switches, dimmer switches, smart plugs, thermostats, and Scenes configured with Vera. Also ask her the status of the supported devices and to answer questions.
