Amazon has made it very easy to not only buy Alexa enabled Echo devices but also set them up, to begin the world of hands-free communication with Alexa. The smart digital assistant works on voice interactions and is capable of handling many tasks for you thanks to Amazon’s numerous upgrades and refinements to this technology. Let's have a look at how you can Setup Amazon Echo devices and make the most of Alexa’s capabilities:

  1. Two essentials to begin the Amazon Echo setup are a Wifi connection and the latest version of the Alexa App. You can Download Alexa App from the app store on your mobile device available for both Android and iOS users. The setup can also be accessed from a browser on a PC or laptop by visiting www.amazon.com/echosetup.

  2. Sign in to your Amazon account and select the ‘Setup a new device’ option from the menu.

  3. This will guide you to a list of Echo devices, choose the one you own, and continue.

  4. In the next step, you need to plug your device into a power source and wait till an orange light appears. If you don't see the light, just press the ‘Action’ button on your device for six seconds.

  5. Once the light appears, you will be prompted to select a custom Amazon wireless network from the Wifi settings. Come back to the app after that to see a list of available Wifi networks in the vicinity.

  6. Connect to your preferred Wifi and wait for the setup to complete.

  7. Through the Alexa app, you can also connect all your Smart Home devices with Alexa. Select ‘Smart Home’ from the menu and let Alexa discover smart devices.

Amazon has recently added Smart Home Skills which enables developers of smart home devices to build skills that will let Alexa manage their devices through voice interaction. These capabilities add a whole range of devices that can be managed by Alexa like printers, speakers, or TV casting devices. The Smart Home Skills can be added from the Smart Home section on the app. You need to sign in to your registered account alexa.amazon.com with the device manufacturer to link the skill with Alexa. Once you authorize Alexa to use this skill, you can discover the device and make it a part of your Alexa controlled Smart Home.
