Set Up Alexa
Downloading the Alexa app will also help you set up the connection and control your SmartThings products. You should also download the SmartThings mobile app and create an account. Finally, turn on Smart Home Skills in the Alexa app.
Connect to SmartThings
With the apps downloaded and your devices ready, you can connect SmartThings devices to Alexa.
Update Devices
Any time you add new SmartThings devices to your home, change the location or otherwise modify your SmartThings items, you can update the information with Alexa. To do so, you will need to use the SmartThings mobile app.
SmartThings Routines
Routines allow you to run multiple tasks using just one command. You can save time, automate things you do regularly, and simplify lengthy processes that might be difficult to remember. You can create a routine using the SmartThings app and then giving Alexa commands to run it. You can use the default SmartThings Routines, which are Good Morning!, Good Night!, Goodbye!, and I’m Back! You can also create your own custom routines.
