How to Setup and Use Alexa

  • Опубликовано: 14 авг 2024
  • Our complete Alexa setup guide shows you how to get started with Amazon's smart home assistant - from downloading the Alexa app onto your iPhone or Android phone to setting up compatible speakers such as the Amazon Echo Spot, Show, Dot and beyond, plus devices from Bose and Sonos.
    These days Alexa can be found in hundreds of smart devices, from speakers and TVs to smartphones and other smart home kit. The best voice assistant of 2018/2019 can control your kit, deliver information on demand and loads more besides - and here's how to get setup, whatever your equipment.
    Alexa is completely free to use, and a serious rival to the likes of the Google Assistant and Siri. Especially as she was one of the first to be integrated into smart home tech, so she has more features and better understanding - as well as impressive support.
    We hope this guide to using Alexa helps, and check out our reviews of Amazon's Echo speakers for more.
    For a comprehensive list of supported Alexa devices, check out this link: www.amazon.co....

    like the features, setup was difficult for some of my devices (August Door lock, ruclips.net/user/postUgkxhB5YOMNj04GuoAosExygP4cH-dKeb4aB Bose speaker)... but all switches and outlets (5), thermostat, tankless water heater. Unfortunately all I can do is turn on/off Bose. It doesn't support volume or changing channels, but I believe that is due to the particular speaker I have.... Worth getting if you already have other devices to use it with... I don't sit around and ask Alexa questions much so that doesn't really matter to me....

      What kind of plug is it? What echo device do you have? Do you have a hub to communicate between your plug and echo? If you have the dot you will need a smarthub because the dot can't communicate with smart devices directly

      I'm not sure what you mean by it's own wifi. It connects to your wireless router just like any other device. As far as connect to your tv it all depends on your setup. I have a Samsung smart TV and with my Samsung smartthings hub I can control my tv through my echo device. You would have to have a smart TV that's compatible, smart hub (smartthings) and an echo device for this to work.

    Setup was bit bit wonky. Went well until I tried setting up the WIFI. Then it had me select the Amazon WIFI(on the Echo Dot) for the WIFI settings on my tablet. That went ok, but when I went back to the Alexa app it failed to complete. Shut down the app and restarted setup, and this time the tablet automatically connected and everything finally completed. It seems that trying to open settings while in the Alexa app screwed up something but if it connected to the Dot's WIFI from remembering it, it works well.I would much prefer setting up the Dot with voice than using an app(which requires another device to be available) That would make it possible to set it up and use it stand alone.
