Alexa Setup Tips

OK, finally figured out how to connect to Alexa. Tip: In the Alexa app, on the device screen, you need to scroll the top sections to the right to find motion sensors ( Echo & Alexa, Lights, Plugs, Switches -> Scrolling). It wasn't obvious at first. Set up the hub in the BroadLink2 app. Setting the button module in the BroadLink3 app. In the BroadLink app, link an Alexa skill by clicking "+" and then "Add Voice Assistant". Associate the BroadLink skill with the Alexa4 app. Forget the BroadLink app now, you won't be using it anymore. From now on, use the Alexa app to create a routine. Go to Alexa, Devices, Scan/Add New Devices, choose Other or Motion Detection as the type to scan or add. Choose another like mfg.6. At this point, Alexa should have detected 4 new motion sensors. Add a new procedure in the Alexa app. Click +. Give the new procedure a name, e.g. B. "Key one"8. In the When it Happens section, press Smart Home, then press Button 1.9. In the Add Action section, select your action.10. Press button one to activate the Alexa app procedure

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
