iDevices is integrating Amazon Alexa into a smart light switch that can also be controlled by Siri and Google Assistant.

When a standard light switch is replaced with the Instinct, users gain the functionality of a smart light switch, standalone voice assistant, ambient light sensor and motion detector — all in one product.

“The iDevices Instinct is a breakthrough in the smart home industry. It represents the next evolution in our extensive line of premium connected solutions,” said Chris Allen, president of iDevices. “The Instinct is one of many innovations to come from iDevices, forever changing the home as we know it.”

Features:
With the Instinct, users can not only manage connected products, but also listen to music, find a new recipe and get the news with premium sound by Soen Audio. Motion and light sensors allow users to automate lights and receive custom alerts, providing energy savings and peace of mind.

The Instinct works in concert with iDevices' extensive line of smart home solutions and other Alexa-enabled products like the Amazon Echo. The Instinct’s lighting functions can also be controlled with the iDevices Connected app, Siri and the Google Assistant. With over-the-air updates, the Instinct is futureproof, meaning users will always have the latest technology installed throughout their home.

The intentionally traditional design of the Instinct fits into the décor of any room, and its voice-activated LED ring lights up to reveal its hidden intelligence. As with all iDevices products, the Instinct is hub-free and compatible with iOS and Android.

The iDevices Instinct is set to launch this year and will be on display this week at the CES Sands Expo, Level 2, Halls A-D, Booth #42514. The iDevices Dimmer Switch and iDevices Wall Switch are both available from Amazon for $99.95.
