Alexa Smart Home Groups Not Working
Alexa groups not working. Change it to something easily discernible and speak it clearly. Set a preferred speaker for your device group. In this case im not saying the group name im just in the room with the echo device and i say alexa turn on lights in the groups master bedroom master bathroom and kitchen it works. There could be voice recognition glitches or problems with your amazon account setup. A smart home group is a collection of smart home devices contained within a single room or category throughout the home. Go to the menu and select the devices icon.
Multi room music doesnt play if alexa cant understand your group name or if there are connectivity issues. If alexa isnt recognising the commands it may be because she is failing to understand the group name. There may be a simple culprit such as a power or internet outage. Scroll down on the devices page to review speaker groups. Preferred speakers are speakers selected as the default speaker in a device group. Make sure that your device group name is something alexa can easily understand.
Select the icon and then add group. One of the more common errors users encounter is alexas smart home groups do not work. Alexa enabled group light control not working for just two groups we have 10 alexa enabled groups and 8 of them work flawlessly if you say alexa lights on bam it happens. For example the smart home group master bedroom would contain any and all smart home devices in the master bedroom. Unplugged all the echo devices echo dot echo echo show echo spot echo plus also unplugged your router and modem leave them for 5 min at the unplugged stage now plugin your modem first wait till your modem gets back to online mode after 1 2 min plug in your router after that. If you have speaker groups go ahead and tap one.
Your suggestion gave me an idea for a new test though. Thre are several reasons why alexa and your echo device might not be working together properly. Preferred speaker and groups. In the groups sunroom office and camdens room it does not work. The group master bathroom works. However in the master bathroom a group called bathroom and my wifes study a group called study this does not work for some reason.
Youll be brought to the edit group page. From here you want to make sure all the speakers you want to. Use pre set group names or create your own and then select next. Echo devices might be grouped improperly or there might be wi fi issues. Select the devices you want to include and then save.
