hi alison,
yes you do need smart home devices.
you could get either compatible smart light bulbs or similar light switches and
you would need something like the british gas Hive smart thermostat to be able
to control your central heating.

Forgive my ignorance, but if you want to use this device to switch on lights or
change the temperature on your heating, do you need to change your boiler or
your lighting system or do you need to get a device which can communicate with
the Echo?
