The Fitbit Versa 4 does offer some capabilities related to controlling smart home devices, primarily through its integration with Amazon Alexa. Here's how it works:
1. Amazon Alexa Integration: The Fitbit Versa 4 comes with Amazon Alexa built-in, allowing you to control smart home devices using voice commands. To set up Alexa on your Versa 4, you need to sign in with your Amazon account through the Fitbit app. Once set up, you can use voice commands to control compatible smart home devices, check the weather, set alarms, and more[3][4][9].
2. Voice Commands: You don't need to say "Alexa" before your requests; simply open the Alexa app on your watch and give your command. For example, you can say "Turn on the living room lights" if you have compatible smart lights set up with Alexa[3][4].
3. Limitations: While the Versa 4 allows you to control smart home devices via Alexa, it does not directly integrate with other smart home platforms like Home Connect, which is more commonly associated with the Fitbit Versa 2[7]. However, if your smart home devices are compatible with Alexa, you can manage them through the Versa 4.
In summary, the Fitbit Versa 4 can control smart home devices through Amazon Alexa, but it may not support all smart home platforms directly. This feature is convenient for those who already use Alexa-compatible devices in their home.
