How do you get them connected to Alexa?
@SimplySmart1234 күн бұрын
First you connect them to your SmartThings Hub. Then connect your SmartThings to Alexa. All devices will then be voice controlled.
@SimplySmart1234 күн бұрын
These will need a hub because they are not wifi. Wifi requires a lot of energy. Many wifi smart products may an Alexa skill that will connect the two through your home network.

I honestly bloody give up Amazon Alexa customer service is useless I literally told them I tried several times for several weeks to disconnect the device unplugged plugged it connects but then disconnects after after few hours both my devices are very close metre 4 metres away but both not working I factory reset device! Set it all up again it connects then disconnects I restarted router still messing around it worked fine for years it's not the internet even when I had terrible internet I never had issues with echo I believe it's maybe software update from Amazon messed if all up it just disconnected again I give up

How many SIMPLETON videos must one watch until we get past the "Is it plugged in" stuff. Our wifi was upgraded to add 5g and it the 1st gen Echo hasn't worked since. All kind of other devices have NO problem. One would think Amazon would be sending out notices about dealing with the expected issues, But NOOOOOOOOO. My Alexa app doesn't even look like the app in some videos so right out of the gate its over.

@@SimplySmart123 Exactly what Amazon would like when it isn't necessary . Answer found after way too many hours researching. Wifi Must be 2.4g if you dont see it contact provider to separate it, Unbundle from 5g signal. Turn off Bluetooth on phone.. Start over. TA-DA, Guess what ? Amazon did Not provide the solution. Another Echo owner on Help did. Shame on Amazon for not knowing and sharing this.

@DoctorDification the newer devices can connect to either 5G or 2.4 so it’s not an issue on those. But I guess the older ones are locked into 2.4. usually, if you have both the device will automatically connect to the correct Wi-Fi.

Thank you for sharing this very helpful video. I have a Fire HD 10 and I've installed an SD card with preloaded songs. However, I can't seem to open it on my device. I could access the storage section showing the Internal Storage and SD Card Storage. But when I tap the SD Card part, it won't show the content. I've tried everything but to no avail. Do you know a way to access my SD card with pre-downloaded songs without having to purchase songs from Amazon Music? I'm hoping you guide me through step by step. Please help. Thanks.
