<p class='note'>The Home Assistant Cloud is currently in open beta and will become part of the upcoming Community Support Package. [Learn more](/blog/2017/12/17/introducing-home-assistant-cloud/)</p>
The Home Assistant Cloud allows you to quickly integrate your local Home Assistant with various cloud services like Amazon Alexa.
The following integrations are currently available:
- [Amazon Alexa (Amazon Echo)](/components/cloud.alexa/)
<!-- - [Google Assistant (Google Home)](/components/cloud.google_assistant/) -->
### {% linkable_title How does it work? %}
The Home Assistant Cloud has been designed with security in mind. When you activate the Cloud component, your instance will create a secure connection to the Home Assistant Cloud. There is no need for any further configuration or to expose your instance to the internet.
Integrations like Alexa will deliver messages to our cloud which we will forward to your local instance for processing. We just forward the response back to Alexa. This means that we do not have to store the state of your house in our cloud, we’re just the messenger!
You can find a list of frequently asked questions (and their answers) in [this blog post](/blog/2017/12/17/introducing-home-assistant-cloud/#faq).

We're happy to announce that the Home Assistant skill is now available in Canada, UK, Germany, India and Australia! Check it out in the [Amazon Alexa Skill store][alexa skill].
In the meanwhile, we have also been working on the Google Assistant integration. We passed the first verification and are now working with Google to do the final verification. Stay tuned!
In less than 2 weeks the open beta is about to expire. We're still working on setting up the company and payment system so we can start accepting payments. Until we do, Home Assistant Cloud will remain free.

The Alexa integration allows users to control the entities via the [Home Assistant Smart Home skill for Alexa][alexa skill]. This means that you can say things like "Alexa, turn on the kitchen light" to control your local Home Assistant.
