Amazon Echo Dot How To Set Up

Bluetooth
All Echo devices have built-in Bluetooth. This makes
it a Bluetooth speaker, so you can play music or any
other audio from your phone. You can also use the
Bluetooth connection to pair a Bluetooth speaker
or Bluetooth headphones with your Echo.
The easiest way to pair a phone with your Echo
is to say, “Alexa, pair”. The device will then look
for Bluetooth devices that are discoverable. So
make sure Bluetooth is turned on in your phone’s
settings and that it is also set to be discoverable
byotherdevices.
Alternatively, go to your phone’s Bluetooth settings
and look through the list of available devices for
your Echo (after saying, “Alexa, pair”). When the
Echo shows up in the list of discovered devices, tap
it and then tap “Pair” when prompted.
You should hear a chime and then Alexa will say,
“Now connected to [your device name]”.
To stop streaming over Bluetooth say, “Alexa,
disconnect Bluetooth.” Or just turn off Bluetooth
onyour device.
Smart Home
The Amazon Echo is compatible with a range of
smart home devices including smart lights, locks,
speakers, TVs, and more. When you set these up you
can control them all using Alexa.
These devices are purchased separately and are add-
ons that can increase the number of things you do
with your device and even make your home safer
and more comfortable.
Smart lights are amongst the best value smart
home devices. Smart lights are special bulbs that
you connect to your Echo device and once they
are set up you can simply say, “Alexa, turn on the
[name of the smart light],” and it will come on or
go off. You can use the Alexa app to switch your
lights on when you are away from home and even
set up special routines that will switch your smart
lights on and off at certain times.
Smart home devices include heating controls,
televisions, home security systems, sound systems
and door locks. Many are easy to set up, but some
can be more complicated, so knowing which are
right for you can be tricky. Before spending a
lotof money:
