LightwaveRF celebrates Amazon Alexa success

Proprietary ‘internet of things’ and connected devices specialist LightwaveRF updated the market on its progress with Amazon’s ‘Alexa’ interface, which allows the control and monitoring of light, heat, power and security, on Monday.

The AIM-traded firm said the response by LightwaveRF customers to the LightwaveRF Alexa Skill has been extremely positive, with LightwaveRF achieving a 4.5 star feedback rating on the Amazon Alexa app.

“This is significantly higher than any competitor products,” the board said in a statement.

“Since the Alexa launch Lightwave's user registrations have been running at double the rate of last year.”

Through the app, LightwaveRF said its product can either directly operate its comprehensive range of devices or be further enhanced by linking to other platforms.

“Following the launch of Amazon Alexa in late September 2016 the company quickly integrated its products with Amazon Echo and Dot devices.

“The entire LightwaveRF product range can now be controlled by voice.”
