The Alexa Devices integration lets you control Alexa-enabled devices connected to your Amazon account.

In Apple Home through HomeKit Bridge

What HomeKit Bridge makes of each kind of entity this integration creates, read from its source code. A device only gets the ones that apply to it.

Entity	Shows up as	Note
`switch`	Switch or outlet
`media_player`	Media player (as switches)	Only TVs and receivers get a TV tile; other players show as power and play switches; Needs its own HomeKit Bridge in accessory mode
`binary_sensor`	Sensor (motion)
`sensor`	Sensor (PM10, PM2.5, carbon monoxide, humidity, light level, temperature)
`button`	Button (as a switch)
`select`	Mode picker (as switches)

What people report

Echo, Fire TV and Fire tablet devices work through Amazon's cloud with MFA login. Speaker groups and Announce entities have had gaps, and some countries hit setup errors.

Reminders may not be added to the sensor if the configured account is linked to an Alexa Household.
You might see Failed to refresh communications settings warnings in the logs. These are caused by Amazon rate limiting connections, and the cause is under investigation. When this happens, the communication, drop-in, and announcement settings might be out of date. These settings rarely change, so you can safely ignore …
