Does Govee work well with Alexa?
Pairing with Alexa – I paired the Govee with Alexa using the Govee skill. As with many such skills, you need to link an account and then you’re good to go. As soon as I paired the light, I was able to say, “Alexa, turn on Lyra” and “Alexa, turn off Lyra,” and it did. But we can see the hall from our family room and there may be times we don’t want the Lyra to be on. I wanted to allow for the Lyra to be off, but then have it turn on as we walked into the hall. After all, my goal was to get automatic light into that hallway. The motion sensor mounts nicely (but looks a bit like an all-seeing eye). Still, it works. So next, I paired Alexa to a Hue Motion Sensor, There are a lot of Alexa-compatible motion sensors out there, but since I have a ton of Hue bulbs, I already had a Hue bridge.
But the real reason I chose the Hue motion sensor is because it’s powered by two AAA batteries. These will last a long time, especially compared to the typical coin battery. I’m pretty sure I’ll get at least a year out of this thing before I have to replace the batteries. I created one more routine, “Hallway Motion.” It triggers when the motion sensor detects motion.
I have it set to only trigger between 6am and 6pm. Unfortunately, while you can schedule a routine to run at sunrise and sunset, you can’t limit a trigger to run between sunrise and sunset. You can only specify an exact time. During the summer, it doesn’t get dark for a few hours after 6pm, but I set it for 6pm so it will generally work year round. This slowly morphs from blue to green and back. It’s very pretty and relaxing. What about you? What kind of smart devices do you have in your home? Let us know in the comments below.

Why won t my Alexa connect?
Check Your Smartphone’s Wi-Fi Connection – The first thing you’ll want to verify is that your mobile device is connected to the Wi-Fi network you want to use. The Echo lineup is comprised of relatively simple devices. Therefore, you will need a smartphone with the Alexa app to make changes such as the Wi-Fi network.
- If the companion device isn’t connected to Wi-Fi while you’re making changes or it’s connected to a slower band, your Echo device will have problems connecting.
- Go into the Settings on your iPhone or Android phone and long-press the Wi-Fi button in your phone’s control center to open up the Wi-Fi options.
Try to reconnect your Echo device through the Alexa App. If the connection is unsuccessful, ensure that you have entered your password correctly. Because the password is hidden, it is easy to mistype one of the characters. Simply try reconnecting and re-entering your password before trying any of the troubleshooting tips below.
Of course, make sure that your CAPS LOCK key isn’t engaged, as all caps is likely the number one reason people mistype passwords multiple times. You can also try putting your smartphone in Airplane mode and then reconnecting it to Wi-Fi. The Alexa app in your phone relies on wifi to properly set up your Echo, so reconnecting the phone to wifi may resolve the issue quickly.
