Do you ever wish you had your own personal assistant to help you out with the little things? Well, thanks to home assistants such as Amazon’s Alexa and Google’s Google Home, you can now perform tasks such as dimming the lights, changing the temperature, and more with a simple voice command.

While it may seem trivial at first, most smart home users have found that being able to use voice commands for certain tasks is extremely helpful in some situations, such as when you’re arriving home when it’s dark and have your hands full with groceries. By simply saying, “Alexa, turn on the kitchen lights,” you’ll be able to see where you’re walking and avoid any potential tripping hazards on your floor.

If you haven’t fully explored the opportunities what having a smart home presents, you are likely wondering exactly what you can do with an Alexa or Google Home. Nowadays, there are all sorts of skills and devices compatible with a smart home assistant. Here are some examples:

• Lightbulbs
• Thermostats
• Kitchen appliances
• Outlets
• Robot vacuums
• Cameras
• And more
