Frequently Asked Questions
If I didn’t select the option “Link to my Alexa account” during purchase, can I still use the Amazon Simple Setup feature?
-
No. If you unselected the option during the purchase, you could only use the BroadLink APP to add the device. But you still can use Alexa / Google voice control.
When the phone is connected to the device during AP Setup in BroadLink APP, why I can’t find my router’s Wi-Fi network? -
Under some extreme circumstances, the APP may not show the target router’s SSID if there are too many networks nearby. Please try to set up the device in an environment with less interference and re-power the device before retrying.
