Amazon Alexa smart home setup
Alexa set up properly: Echo devices in the right rooms, devices named so commands make sense, routines that help, and voice control of Control4 if you have it.
5.0 on Google · 60+ reviewsAlexa is easy to start with and easy to end up frustrated with: devices named inconsistently, routines that don't fire, and speakers that answer from the wrong room. Setup and naming make the difference.
We place and set up Echo speakers and displays, connect compatible lights, plugs, locks and thermostats, create routines and group devices by room. In Control4 homes, we connect Alexa through 4Sight so scenes run by voice.
