A little over two years ago, Amazon launched Alexa hunches. The feature lets Alexa suggest actions for you based on your habits. If you typically turn a light off every day at the same time and Alexa notices it\u2019s still on, Alexa can offer to turn it off. Now Amazon will allow smart device developers to turn on a new behavior for hunches that act without asking. It should give Alexa true automation powers.<\/p>\n

Automation is one of the best features of a smart home when used wisely. You can set up routines that automatically turn lights on and off based on your presence or the time of day. But automation can also be difficult to set up. You\u2019ll need to pick your device names wisely, group your smart devices into rooms, and then set up routines. It\u2019s a lot to ask of the average person.<\/p>\n

But Alexa\u2019s hunches bypasses all that. It acts on what it knows about your habits, a lot like Nest\u2019s Learning Thermostat. But until now, Alexa requested permission to act on that knowledge. However, it doesn\u2019t do you any good if you\u2019re asleep or not at home to hear the suggestion to turn off the lights. And that\u2019s why this new feature from Amazon is exciting. Now, if you leave home or it\u2019s late at night and Alexa notices that you left the lights on, it can just turn them off for you. If your thermostat is running like you\u2019re still at home, it can adjust things without asking.<\/p>\n

Developers have to integrate hunches into devices and enable the new ability. It\u2019s a change that won\u2019t happ<\/a>en overnight. If your smart plug or bulb already supports Alexa\u2019s hunches, that\u2019s less work, and you may see the feature sooner. But only time will tell how soon we\u2019ll see true automation hit Alexa-powered homes.<\/p>\n
