Using Alexa to perform certain tasks at home
is fun, but what to do when new devices are not getting connected to Alexa?
Well, at that time, take Amazon Echo Help to fix the issue.
Have you just bought Amazon Echo? If yes,
then you must be looking to add devices with Amazon Alexa, right? Well,
everybody does that, so it’s not a new thing, but what’s important for you is,
making sure that Amazon Echo setup
has been properly done because only then, you will be able to add more smart
devices to Echo. Before you can add devices, you will have to find them.
So, let us know the
process of how to discover devices with Amazon Alexa
If you have done Amazon Alexa Setup, then it’s time to
discover or locate the smart device, which can be connected to Amazon Echo for
a better home automation experience.
You have to open Amazon Alexa app on your smartphone, and as you open
it, the app will automatically directs you to locate the devices that are
present in your house.
1. You have to tap ‘Discover Devices’.
2.
Wait till the searching process is complete.
If this doesn’t happen on
its own, then you have to follow the below-mentioned steps:
1. In the Alexa app, tap on
‘menu’ option.
2. Then, tap ‘smart home’.
3. Go through the devices that
have already been discovered.
4. Tap ‘Discover devices’.
5. Now, you have to wait until
the device discovery step is finished.
You will see a progress bar
when Alexa is looking for the smart devices that you want to connect with
Amazon Echo. This process can take about 20 seconds. But, when it does, you are
in a position to connect all the devices that you wish to operate through
Alexa.
You can see the discovered
devices under ‘your devices’ section in the app. With this, the setup has been
completed and now, you can use hands-free voice control of Alexa.
Now, you can check whether
Alexa is picking up your voice commands by saying, ‘Alexa, turn the bedroom
lights on or off’. You can give any command, which you can think can be easily
done by Alexa. If you see lights getting off and on, then it means that Alexa
is working properly.
Adding
new devices to Alexa
If you have already done the setup process by following the
steps from www.Amazon.com Echosetup, and
now, you have bought a new switch, bulb, thermostat or dimmer that you want to
connect with Alexa, then here are the steps that you can follow to connect
that.
If you grant access to all the devices at the time of setup,
then you have granted Amazon Echo blanket permissions. With this, the device
will find new devices on its own. You won’t have to perform any action to add a
new device then. Amazon Echo searches for new devices once per hour. With the
blanket permission, Alexa will add new devices without your intervention. But,
that doesn’t mean that you have to wait for an hour before you could add a new
device. You can simply command Alexa to discover new devices anytime you want.
This ensures that new devices can be added instantly if you want. If you are
not interested in granting blanket permissions and select the new devices
There are certain steps that you need to follow in order to
select the devices individually, and those steps can be found at www Amazon com Echosetup.
There are two new devices that have been launched by Amazon in the same
niche, these are Amazon Echo Tap and
Amazon Echo Dot. The process of
adding new devices in these two devices is also same. So, just follow the steps
that is given on the Amazon website and perform in the same manner
