Integrating smart devices into your home can transform the way you live and interact with technology. If you own a set of Wyze lights and want to control them with the voice of your assistant, Alexa, you are in the right place. This comprehensive guide will walk you through the process of linking your Wyze lights with Alexa, making your smart home setup as easy as it gets.

Step 1: Set Up Your Wyze Lights

Before you can connect your Wyze lights with Alexa, ensure that they are properly set up and connected to your smartphone via the Wyze app. Here's what you need to do:

Open the Wyze app on your smartphone. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to connect the lights to your Wi-Fi network.

Step 2: Enable the Wyze Skill in Alexa

To enable the Wyze skill in Alexa, follow these steps:

Open the Alexa app on your smartphone. Tap on the “More” menu, located in the bottom right corner as three horizontal lines. Select “Skills Games” from the menu. Search for “Wyze” in the search bar. Select the Wyze skill and tap “Enable”.

Step 3: Link Your Wyze Account

Once the Wyze skill is enabled, you will be prompted to log in to your Wyze account:

Enter your credentials (username and password) to link your Wyze account with Alexa.

Step 4: Discover Devices

After linking your accounts, Alexa will automatically discover your Wyze lights. You can also prompt Alexa to find them by saying:

“Alexa, discover my devices.”

If you are not prompted to discover the devices automatically, you can still proceed by manually initiating the discovery process.

Step 5: Control Your Wyze Lights

Once your Wyze lights are discovered, you can control them using voice commands. For example:

“Alexa turn on the living room light.”

“Alexa set the bedroom light to 50.”

Step 6: Create Routines (Optional)

If you want to take your home automation to the next level, consider creating routines in the Alexa app. These routines can automate your Wyze lights based on specific triggers or schedules. For example:

Create a routine to turn off all lights at bedtime. Set up a timer to dim the lights to a comfortable level at night. Configure a scene that changes the color and brightness of your lights based on the time of day.

Such routines can save you time and effort while enhancing the comfort and convenience of your home.

Final Thoughts

Once you complete these steps, your Wyze lights should be fully integrated with Alexa. If you encounter any issues, ensure that both your Wyze app and Alexa app are updated to the latest version. Regular updates not only fix bugs but also introduce new features and improvements to enhance your experience.
