"Alexa, ...."

To use Alexa, you need to have an Alexa-enabled speaker and an Amazon Account.

You can download the Alexa app on your iPhone from the Apple App Store here

Once you have set up your area, you’ll need to create a Zuma Account to then onboard with Amazon Alexa.

(You can create your Zuma Account from within the main settings area.)

Enabling Light Control with Alexa.

1) Open the Zuma app.

2) Tap on the Manage icon in the bottom right-hand corner.

3) Within the Manage area, locate the setting labeled Amazon Alexa Skill and tap on ‘Enable Skill.’

Enabling Audio Control with Alexa.

1) Open the Zuma app and click into your chosen area.

2) Tap on the settings icon in the top right-hand corner.

3) Within this area, you’ll see a link to ‘Configure Alexa’.

4) Tap to begin setup the setup experience.

As the assistant launches, follow the screens to help create your Zuma account and also enroll into the Amazon Alexa platform. As part of this experience, you’ll receive the Zuma skill.

Tip: The Zuma Lumisonic has both speaker and light functions, so you will see 2 categories of devices (light and speaker) in the devices tab of the Amazon Alexa app.

Once set up or as part of the Amazon Alexa setup experience, you’ll be asked to add your Alexa discovered devices to join a room. If you opt to choose later, you can add them to a room at a later point.

TIP: To fine-tune Amazon Alexa skills, allow a couple of minutes for Amazon to implement these cloud-based changes to take effect.
