Amazon Alexa

Connect with Amazon Echo
Users must have a ConnectLife account through the ConnectLife App. To establish an account, please download the ConnectLife APP in the Play Store (Android) or App Store (IOS), and create a Cloud Account for your home appliance.

Step 1: Sign in to the ConnectLife app
Sign in to the ConnectLife app using your ConnectLife account. Make sure the account is verified and appliances that need to be controlled through Echo should be saved to your account.

Step 2: Set good device names
It’s important to use unique, distinctive names which are easy to remember and discern from your other connected home products, such as “Bedroom portable” or “cooler”. If product names are too generic or similar, you may have a difficult time controlling specific devices using your voice. Try to avoid using similar-sounding names or appending numbers to your appliance names. Names like “air conditioner 1”,” air conditioner 2”, etc. may prove challenging to control. Since Alexa uses trigger words to activate devices, stay away from command verbs in your home appliance names.

Step 3: Go to “Skills & Games” in your Alexa app
Open the Alexa app on your phone. Tap the menu More at the bottom and select Skills & Games from the list.

Step 4
Enter “ConnectLife” in the search box and tap the first result. Tap “Enable Skill”. Login to your ConnectLife account and tap “Sign in”. Or follow the on- screen instructions to complete the linking process.

Step 5: Discover your ConnectLife Appliances
Tap “Discover Devices” on the Smart Home page. Alexa will search for appliances. Or say, “Discover my devices.”

Step 6: Completion!
Alexa will take a few seconds to discover your home appliances. Once complete, you can find all your appliances in Device page.

About voice commands
When using the Alexa skill, specify by name which appliance to use. There are two ways to define it/them:

1. Use the home appliance names you have set up. They are shown in the ConnectLife app and can be changed.
2. Create a group to control. Select the Devices icon . Use pre-set group names, or create your own, and then select Next. Select the devices you want to include and then Save. To create a group, the appliances need to be added one at a time. For more information, please visit http://amzn.to/2965dCE.

Once the names of devices/appliances are established, you need to start with the wake-word “Alexa”, and then tell Amazon Echo what skill you want your devices/appliances to perform. Current Alexa Voice Commands for ConnectLife products are as bellow (Stay tuned as we continue to add more voice commands):
