如何使用 Alexa 设置灯光(How to Set Up Lights With Alexa)
Alexa作为一个平台的主要好处之一是添加新设备非常容易。
如何通过 Alexa 添加灯光(How to Add Lights Through Alexa)
首先，打开Alexa应用程序并点击设备(Devices)选项卡。如果您家中已经设置了兼容设备，Alexa将在屏幕顶部通知您，并显示“发现 3 个设备”之类的消息。如果是这样，请点击查看(View)以查看可以找到新设备的位置。
某些设备在设置后会自动添加到 Alexa(automatically added to Alexa)。在这种情况下，您所要做的就是将设备添加到房间或组中。好消息是，即使没有自动添加设备，它们也很容易设置。
点击右上角的+ 符号，然后点击添加设备(Add a Device)。滚动(Scroll)列表，直到看到要添加的设备类型——在这种情况下，点击Light。然后，您可以滚动浏览兼容的灯品牌列表。例如，我们将使用Philips Hue。
滚动(Scroll)直到您在列表中看到 Philips Hue，然后点击名称。在设置Hue(Hue)灯之前，您需要遵循一些说明。这些说明显示在屏幕上。完成此操作后，点击发现设备。 (Discover Devices. )
Alexa将寻找要连接的设备，这个过程最多可能需要 45 秒。Alexa会在发现灯光时告诉您。在此阶段，点击设置设备。(Set Up Device. )然后将提示您将灯光添加到组中。点击选择组(Choose Group)并选择要将灯光添加到的组，然后点击添加到组。(Add To Group. )在此之后，单击继续(Continue )，然后单击完成。 (Done. )
完成此操作后，将设置灯光并可以通过Alexa进行控制。
如何设置其他品牌
尽管每个品牌的智能灯设置都与其他品牌略有不同，但基本流程是相同的。首先(First)，打开Alexa应用程序，然后点击设备。(Devices.)接下来，点击+ 符号。点击添加设备(Add Device )，然后点击灯光。(Light.)
从列出的品牌中选择您的灯，然后按照屏幕上的说明进行操作。大多数情况下，它会要求您下载该特定品牌灯的应用程序并进行设置。完成后，返回Alexa应用程序并点击发现设备。(Discover Devices.)
从现在开始，设置与以前相同。点击设置设备，(Set Up Device, )为灯选择合适的组，然后将其添加到组中。完成此操作后，只需单击继续(Continue)，然后单击完成。 (Done. )
如何通过智能插头设置灯光(How to Set Up Lights Through Smart Plugs)
您无需购买昂贵的智能灯泡即可从Alexa灯光控制中受益。如果您购买智能插头(purchase a smart plug)，您可以让传统灯变得“智能”。以下是如何设置它。
首先，通过其各自的应用程序设置智能插头。确切的过程取决于您是否拥有亚马逊智能插头(Amazon Smart Plug)、卡萨(Kasa)智能插头或其他品牌。按照屏幕上的步骤设置智能插头。完成后，打开Alexa应用程序。
点击右上角的+ ，然后点击添加设备。(Add Device. )点击插头，(Plug, )然后滚动列表并选择您的插头品牌。找到它后，请按照步骤安装它。
如何使用 Alexa 控制智能灯(How to Control Smart Lights With Alexa)
安装并设置好智能灯后，您可以通过几种不同的方式控制Alexa ：例程(routines)、通过应用程序和语音控制。
如何通过 App 控制智能灯(How to Control Smart Lights Through the App)
通过应用程序控制您的智能灯很简单。打开Alexa应用程序并点击Lights。您将看到家中所有可用的灯。您只需点击开(On)即可轻松控制这些灯。不过，这不是唯一的选择。
从主设备(Devices)屏幕，您可以看到应用程序中设置的每个组。(Group)如果给定组中有灯，您可以点击代表图标来打开或关闭灯。您还可以点击组名将其打开并控制所有灯或单个灯。
您也可以点击右下角的更多，然后点击(More )例程。(Routines.)点击右上角的+以添加新的例程。在此屏幕中，输入新例程名称、触发条件以及发生的情况。这些例程可以设置打开和关闭灯的特定时间，何时回家等等。
您还可以通过这种方式控制插入智能插头的常规灯。打开Alexa应用程序并点击设备，(Devices, )然后点击插头。(Plugs. )您可以通过这种方式查看您设置的每个智能插头并单独控制它们。与智能灯一样(Just)，您也可以通过群组控制智能插头。
如何用语音控制智能灯(How to Control Smart Lights With Voice)
Amazon Echo设备可让您通过语音控制家中的智能设备。您需要做的就是知道家中灯的具体名称——因为您可以给灯取任何您想要的名称，这很容易做到。
你可以说，“ Alexa，打开灯。” 您还可以要求Alexa打开特定房间，例如“ Alexa，打开客厅灯”。如果您有智能插头，请为其命名，例如Living Room Plug。然后你可以说“ Alexa，打开客厅插头(Living Room Plug)”来打开任何连接的设备。
即使您没有Echo设备，您仍然可以通过Alexa应用程序本身使用语音控制。打开应用程序并点击屏幕顶部的图标以发出命令。
智能(Smart)灯通常是人们遇到的第一批智能设备之一，当然也是最容易上手的设备之一。只需设置一些智能灯，然后通过Alexa 进行控制——(Alexa–the)它在日常生活中提供的便利非常值得。即使您有不同的品牌，一旦安装它们，它们都控制相同。
How to Control Smart Lights with Alexa
Alexa is one of the most popular ѕmart home platforms available today due to іts wide range of compatible deνices and ease of use. Alexa mаkes it easy to control smart lights from dozens of different brands through the app, through voice, and through other methods.
This guide will walk you through exactly how to set up smart lights with Alexa, how to control them once you’ve set them up, and more. “Alexa, please turn on the lights,” will become a common phrase in your home.
How to Set Up Lights With Alexa
One of the main benefits of Alexa as a platform is how easy it is to add new devices.
How to Add Lights Through Alexa
First, open the Alexa app and tap the Devices tab. If compatible devices have already been set up in your home, Alexa will notify you at the top of a screen with a message like, “3 devices discovered.” If so, tap View to see where new devices can be found.
Some devices, once set up, are automatically added to Alexa. In instances like this, all you have to do is add the devices to a room or group. The good news is that even when devices are not automatically added, they are easy to set up.
Tap the + symbol in the top-right and then tap Add a Device. Scroll through the list until you see the type of device you want to add–in this case, tap Light. You can then scroll through a list of compatible light brands. For example, we will use Philips Hue.
Scroll until you see Philips Hue in the list and tap the name. There are instructions you need to follow before you can set up the Hue lights. These instructions are displayed on screen. After you have done this, tap Discover Devices.
Alexa will look for devices to connect, a process that can take up to 45 seconds. Alexa will tell you when lights are discovered. At this stage, tap Set Up Device. You will then be prompted to add the lights to a group. Tap Choose Group and select which group you want to add the light to, and then tap Add To Group. After this, click Continue and then Done.
After you’ve done this, the lights will be set up and can be controlled through Alexa.
How to Set Up Other Brands
Although every brand of smart lights is set up slightly differently than others, the basic process is the same. First, open the Alexa app, and then tap Devices. Next, tap the + symbol. Tap Add Device and then tap Light.
Choose your light from the brands listed and then follow the on-screen instructions. Most of the time, it will ask you to download the app for that particular brand of lights and set it up. Once you do, return to the Alexa app and tap Discover Devices.
From this point forward, the setup is the same as before. Tap Set Up Device, choose the proper group for the light, and then add it to the group. Once you do this, just click Continue and then Done.
How to Set Up Lights Through Smart Plugs
You don’t have to invest in expensive smart bulbs to benefit from Alexa light control. If you purchase a smart plug, you can make traditional lights “smart.” Here’s how to set it up.
First, set up the smart plug through its respective app. The exact process depends on whether you have an Amazon Smart Plug, a Kasa smart plug, or another brand. Follow the on-screen steps to set up the smart plug. Once you’re finished, open the Alexa app.
Tap + in the top-right corner and then tap Add Device. Tap Plug, and then scroll through the list and choose the brand of your plug. Once you find it, follow the steps to install it.
How to Control Smart Lights With Alexa
Once you have installed and set up your smart lights, you can control Alexa through several different ways: routines, through the app, and with voice control.
How to Control Smart Lights Through the App
Controlling your smart lights through the app is simple. Open the Alexa app and tap Lights. You will see every available light in your home. You can easily control those lights just by tapping On. That isn’t the only option, though.
From the main Devices screen, you can see every Group set up within the app. If a light is available within a given group, you can tap the representative icon to turn the light on or off. You can also tap the group name to open it and control all the lights or individual ones.
You can also tap More in the bottom-right and then tap Routines. Tap the + in the upper-right to add a new routine. From this screen, enter the new routine name, the conditions for when it triggers, and what happens. These routines make it possible to set specific times when the lights turn on and off, when you come home, and much more.
You can also control your regular lights that are plugged into smart plugs this way. Open the Alexa app and tap Devices, then tap Plugs. You can see every smart plug you have set up and control them individually this way. Just as with smart lights, you can also control your smart plugs through groups, too.
How to Control Smart Lights With Voice
An Amazon Echo device allows you to control smart devices throughout your home with just your voice. All you need to do is know the specific name of the light in your home–and because you can give the light any name you want, that’s easy to do.
You can say, “Alexa, turn on the lights.” You can also ask Alexa to turn on a specific room, such as “Alexa, turn on living room lights.” If you have a smart plug, give it a specific name like Living Room Plug. Then you can say, “Alexa, turn on Living Room Plug” to power on any connected appliance.
Even if you don’t have an Echo device, you can still use voice controls through the Alexa app itself. Open the app and tap the icon at the top of the screen to give your command.
Smart lights are often one of the first smart devices a person encounters, and certainly one of the easiest to get started with. Just set up a few smart lights and then control through Alexa–the convenience it provides in day to day life is well worth it. Even if you have different brands, once they’re installed, they all control the same.
