Reasons Behind Alexa Smart Home Group Problems

Installing a smart bulb following the manufacturer's instructions is a prerequisite before connecting it to Amazon's Alexa. Usually, all that needs to be done is screw the smart light bulb into an operational outlet. However, read the instructions if a hub other than Alexa is involved.

  • Open the Amazon Alexa app on your mobile device. 

  • In the top left corner of the home screen, there is a "menu button" that appears as three horizontal lines. Tap it. 

  • From the menu, choose "smart home."

  • After ensuring that the devices tab is selected, select "add device." 

  • After searching for compatible devices, Alexa will display a list of those found. 

Linking Alexa to a Smart Switch

Installing the smart switch is the first step towards connecting it to Alexa. Hardwiring a smart switch directly into your home's wiring system is usually necessary to install it. For installation instructions, consult the manufacturer's manual. If in doubt, get the switch wired correctly by hiring a licensed electrician.

  • Open the Amazon Alexa app on your mobile device.
  • In the upper left corner, tap the "menu button," which appears as three horizontal lines on the Home screen.
  • From the menu, choose "smart home."
  • After ensuring that the devices tab is selected, select "add device." Alexa will look for compatible devices and display a list of the ones found.
  • Locate the smart switch you wish to connect by scrolling down. It will have the name you gave it during the initial setup and look like a bulb icon.
  • To finish the setup, tap the name of the switch.

Assemble Groups For Lighting

By creating a group on Alexa, you can instruct the virtual assistant to turn on multiple lights with a single voice command. For instance, a group could consist of all the lights in the living room or bedroom. To establish a group that you can manage using Alexa:

  • Press the menu button, then choose "Smart Home."
  • Go to the groups tab.
  • After tapping "add group," choose "smart home group."
  • Choose a name from the list of common names or enter your own for your group.
  • After choosing the lights you wish to include in the group, select "save."
  • All you need to do to activate Alexa is tell her which set of lights you wish to operate. Alexa, for instance, turns on the living room.
  • All you need to do to activate Alexa is tell her which set of lights you wish to operate. Alexa, for instance, turns on the living room. 

Smart Light Dimming

While some smart bulbs dim and some do not, Alexa can understand the "Dim" command. If you're interested in a feature that most smart switches don't offer, look for dimmable smart bulbs.
