When you get an Echo line device, the next step involves knowing how to make Alexa settings.
In this case, this initial adjustment process is done by your cell phone and your device only needs to be connected to the socket.
So in a few minutes, it will be possible to interact with the assistant and perform voice commands.
But before you start installing your Alexa, install the Alexa mobile app (android | iOS). Within the app you must sign in with your Amazon account.
Through the application, it is already possible to perform voice commands and request actions. See below the whole step by step on how to configure Alexa on your device!
How does Alexa work?
Let's talk about Alexa, which is a virtual assistant provided by Amazon. Since 2019, it has been present in devices and applications in Brazil, focusing on automating routines and voice commands.
With a simple call from Alexa, you can ask to play music, create shopping lists, call contacts and respond to information about everyday life.
But the possibilities with Alexa are also expanded to the connected home idea. Devices such as Smart TVs, sockets and lamps can be integrated into the assistant and perform functions based on voice commands.
Despite being present in applications, the use of Alexa is very popular on Amazon's Echo line devices. This includes the generations of Echo Dot, the brand's smart speaker, and the Echo Show.
Which is a version that comes with a display to view information on the screen.
Use your phone to set up Alexa
- First you must open the Alexa app and log in with your Amazon account. Then go to the “Devices” tab and tap the “+” icon;
- Then on the next screen, choose the device category you want to configure. Select "Amazon Echo" for the brand's speakers and displays;
- Then, choose the exact model of your device to proceed;
- Plug your device into an outlet and check if it displays an orange light. On new devices, this process is automatic. If you want to reset a previously configured device, you must press the action button until the light turns orange;
- Keep bluetooth turned on on your cell phone. Then the app will find the devices available for connection. Tap the name to advance;
- Finally, connect your Wi-Fi network to set up your device with Alexa.
Next step
After you've done this initial setup, Amazon's virtual assistant will ask you a few additional questions, which you can skip.
Through the mobile app, you can customize Alexa to your preferences. As well as saving your voice, linking music app services and adding skills are some of the possibilities.
Because now that you know how to configure your Alexa your way and with the configuration ready, you can now use voice commands with Alexa and make your day to day easier!
