Home Life / Amazon Alexa Compatibility

I just added Home Life automation to my new house because of the convenience of already having cox but the inconvenience of it not being compatible with Alexa Might be enough for me to switch it out with something more universally user friendly. I love my Alexa's and part of the reason for wanting a smart Thermostat and lights was so Alexa could help us manage them.

I would love to see Cox Homelife add IFTTT compatibility! I don't know if that's on the horizon or not, however. -Becky, Cox Support Forums Moderator

Hi Dg2squared2, at this time, Cox Homelife products are not compatible with Alexa smart home devices. However, a new modem and wireless router combo device will be introduced before the end of the year that is supposed to integrate with Cox Homelife Automation products. It may provide a bridge to Alexa and other smart home devices. -Becky, Cox Support Forums Moderator

Becky, any possibility Cox might combine or connect Cox Home Life with it's new Cox2M for IoT? I think that could be a very smart move.

As for Alexa, have you had any luck with the Icontrol 3rd party app? See it mentioned in a Reddit post, so take with a grain of salt.

I also found this detailed post about WHY it's not possible. Atleast, right now.
