Select the brand and then follow along with the instructions. Select the type of device you want to connect-in this case, a smart plug. You can also pair a smart plug by adding it from the same Add Devices menu mentioned above. Alexa will respond if the pairing was successful. #Alexa wall plug plus#
Say, “Alexa, discover my devices.” The Echo Plus will go into pairing mode.
Make sure the smart plug you’re pairing is plugged in and turned on. To pair with your voice, do the following: If you’re unsure if your Amazon smart speaker has this capability, try asking it, “Do you have a smart home hub?” Mostly, it’s why devices like the Samsung SmartThings plugs require a smart hub to connect-that hub has all the necessary components inside. There is one other method for pairing smart plugs, and that’s if you have an Echo device with the built-in ZigBee protocol, one of the standards used to connect smart devices. You can connect your smart plugs to an Amazon Echo Plus with the sound of your voice. Once you’ve finished pairing a device, the Alexa app will ask you to add it to a group-or a "room," as you might otherwise consider it, which is extremely helpful if you're planning to pair a mountain of smart plugs in addition to it. If you can't find a match, it's likely that Alexa doesn't support your plug. Other: If you’re using a brand of smart plug that Amazon doesn’t list in the Alexa app, try adding it from the Skills menu by searching for the manufacturer name, or the name of the app you used to pair it with your smartphone. Just plug in your smart plug, put it into pairing mode by powering it off and on, and then press the button to find it on your network. Unlike a majority of the devices featured here, you can directly pair a GE smart plug through the Alexa app. GE: GE smart plugs are affordable and effective, which is why they’re a favorite smart item. Geeni: Like many of the devices featured here, Geeni smart plugs require setup through the mobile app before it’s available as a skill in the Alexa app. eWeLink: This brand has an Alexa skill you can enable after you’ve set it up through the eWeLink mobile app. Leviton requires its devices are registered through its respective app before the skill can be enabled in Alexa. Leviton: Leviton smart plugs are popular devices, particularly when paired with the brand’s smart panels. JinVoo: Jinvoo smart plugs are primarily set up through the Skills menu. VeSync: Alexa asks you to set up a VeSync device through its proprietary app, then add it through the Skills menu before it can be paired. Tuya: Tuya smart plugs require the aid of the Tuya app before you can pair them as a Skill with Alexa. If you do have a SmartThings hub already set up and you’re wondering why the Alexa app is asking you all this in the first place, try pairing it with the SmartThings app first, and then adding it as a Skill as with the TP-Link and Wemo smart plugs. #Alexa wall plug how to#
SmartThings: Samsung’s smart plugs pair easily through the Amazon Alexa app as long as you have a ZigBee hub available-either through the Echo Plus smart speaker (details on how to set this up further down) or through a separate hub.Wemo: Belkin’s app for its Wemo smart plugs is so easy to use, Alexa tells you to pair your new device that way before dealing with the Alexa app.

TP-Link Kasa: Alexa will instruct you to download the TP-LINK Kasa app for iOS or Android and pair the smart plug from there. Tap the link to give Amazon’s Conditions of Use a read, and then tap next to start pairing. #Alexa wall plug Bluetooth#
Amazon: If you’re hooking up an Amazon smart plug, Alexa will ask you to approve a few permissions (including the ability to access your smartphone’s Bluetooth connection, camera hardware, and location information).You can then search for your device by the manufacturer. To enable a Skill, head back to the menu screen in the Alexa app, and select Skills & Games further down the list.

Conversely, if you're using a smart plug that requires registration with a cloud service, like a TP-Link smart plug, you'll have to add it in as a skill before you can pair the device. For brands like the Amazon smart plug, the Alexa app will guide you through the permissions required for using the specific hardware, and then it'll scan for those available devices. The next screen will ask you to choose your brand. Open the Alexa app on your iOS or Android device to get started.
