I am stuck . lost connection with Alexa

Bought last year to use with Alexa. Setup is relatively easy with a SmartThings hub and a GE Zwave wall dimmer. The app immediately found all 9 of my lights and I renamed each light (A light, B light, C light, etc.). Then I set up lighting schemes (mood lighting, TV lighting, office lighting, etc.). The light can be dimmed with a dimmer built into the wall so I have no idea why some people have pointed out that this is not possible. HERE is the problem, recently my Alexa couldn't turn on the light. It lost its pairing and even though I followed the exact steps I did the first time, I couldn't pair it again. Now all I can do is turn on the switch built into the wall, which allows you to turn all the lights on and off, but not control each one individually. I might try buying an Echo Plus to see if they all connect independently (some people here have indicated that this might work). 3 stars because of disconnection, otherwise the product has served me well so far. UPDATE: I bought an Echo Plus and am having the same issue. These lights cannot be paired. What a waste of time and money.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • not reliable
