Alexa voice control over MQTT

Bridge Alexa voice commands to your own MQTT server — seamless smart-home control with high availability and no central hub to fail. You own the devices and the logic.

Getting started

1. Enable the Alex2MQTT skill in the Alexa app and link it to your Amazon account.
2. Sign in here with Amazon to get your MQTT username, password and root topic.
3. Run an example on an ESP8266, in Node.js or with any MQTT client, then say “Alexa, discover devices”.

Key Features

• Voice Control via MQTT

  Alexa commands become MQTT messages your server acts on: power, brightness, thermostats, and scenes.

• High Availability

  Run more than one bridge against the same account, so control keeps working if a node goes down.

• Extensible & Open

  A documented topic contract plus SDKs for the ESP8266 and Node.js; bring any device that speaks MQTT. (Alpha — more coming.)

What's New

• Removed devices now clear from Alexa automatically (auto-reconcile / self-discovery).
• Faster, more reliable responses for slower devices (deferred acknowledgements).
• Thermostat and scene control.

Supported Libraries

Official SDKs make it quick to expose a device — both are open source on Forgejo.
