If it has an IR or RF remote, it can be smartened up with something that integrates with either Alexa, SmartThings, or whatever Google is calling their stuff today.
Something like the Broadlink RM Pro or even the Mini.

I have an older RM Pro that I use to control dumb devices that have remotes like those Xmas laser lights, portable AC's, older LED lightstrips, and even non smart TV's.
Once setup, you can use Alexa voice to control them and automate functions into scenes or automations in SmartThings.
