There is no Candy! I have deleted/forgotten and rescanned several times, from the app and using voice command, but the pesky Candy scene always returns! (BTW, I have the most recent version of the Hue bridge. This seems to have fixed the problem except Alexa now always finds one of the deleted scenes in the wrong place every time (Candy in Island). So I deleted all scenes that I'd made in that app (sigh) and recreated them in Hue App v2. The problem (there were several similar) seemed to stem from the HueConnect app. Issuing the command to Alexa 'Turn on green in Island' would bring on the green scene in the floor spots. E.g I would make 'green in floor' where floor is a set of six hue colour GU10s, and Alexa would receive it as 'Green in Island', a different group of Hue GU10s where no green scene exists (or is possible, since these lights are white). However, she then went funny in the head, mixing up the room names that scenes are in. I have been using Alexa with various Hue apps with reasonable success (though she is very indifferent about recognising some scenes/devices). Add more Echo products to improve Alexa's coverage throughout your home.I wonder if anyone else has had this problem and knows a fix. While you can access Alexa on your phone using the Alexa app, you're going to need at least one Amazon Echo product to use Alexa in your home to play some music. The user can operate this integrated system in several spots in the experience room using Amazon Alexa to time the lights to any color and in any combination the user wishes. Combined with voice control with Alexa and you're able to set the perfect mood for any gathering - and then tell Alexa to turn off the lights at the end of the night. The center features real scale vignettes and a full user experience of their integrated Hue fixtures as part of Access's partnership with PHILLIPS Hue. What makes the Philips Hue bulbs my recommendation is how you can customize things using the Philips Hue app. They plug into the existing light sockets in your home and easily connect to Alexa over Wi-Fi. For cool party effects, Philips Hue smart bulbs are the most accessible smart home products you can buy. If you're hoping to turn your living room into your very own dance floor, you might want to use Alexa to create the ultimate light show in your home.

I use Spotify and take advantage of all the user-created playlists, too, because it's a great way to discover new music. No matter which music subscription service you use, you will have access to a ton of incredible libraries of curated playlists for any party, along with the option to create your own playlists as you go. With Alexa, you're also able to pause, skip, control the volume, or change the music at your discretion using just your voice. This is easily the most popular way to use Alexa during a party, as Amazon Echo speakers are perfect for delivering festive music, whether you want it front and center for a fun dance party or nice and chill in the background during dinner.

Set your Bluetooth speaker to pairing mode.

Here's how to pair a Bluetooth speaker to your Echo: Even if you just have an Echo Dot speaker - which admittedly is the lesser quality speaker of the Echo family - you should be able to connect your hardwired or Bluetooth speakers to your Amazon Echo product and get all the advantages of Alexa with the improved sound of your favorite speakers. The Sub is not a necessary upgrade but it might be worth considering if you're going all-in on the Amazon Echo experience.įortunately, you've got many more options thanks to the inclusion of 3.5mm line-out and Bluetooth connectivity with all Echo speakers.
