This document is intended to provide instructions for using Amazon Alexa virtual assistant to control HuePress smart light devices. In this document, some account information will vary depending on the context of the actual user, and it does not indicate or provide solutions to problems encountered when following instructions. If you have any questions, please contact tech@huepress.vn for assistance. Thanks!

At this step, you will be redirected to screen 3a, which will support you with functions such as login, forgot password and registration.  You can use two main features: sign in and forget password, with the registration feature note that the account you register will not have a device when you go through all the steps in this document.

To do huepress account linking, enter your account (screen 3b) in the login form. This account is the account you are using on the myHue app and already have a device. Select Sign in to start linking accounts. After successfully linking accounts, your screen will display a message that myHue has been successfully liked.

If you did, congratulations on completing the account linking process.

B. Explore and control your device

After you complete the instructions in The HuePress Account Link section, your screen will be redirected to the Explore  screen (screen 4a), you will see the message Alexa is looking for devices to connect… , don’t worry Alexa is trying to find HuePress smart light devices on the account you just successfully linked. This process takes about 45 seconds, please be patient and wait for the process to complete.

After the discovery process is finished, Alexa will notify you of the number of devices alexa has searched for, a notification like screen 4b will appear on your screen.

When you first link this number of devices is the exact number of HuePress devices on your account, with the second link onwards, Alexa will return you the number of new devices Alexa searched for. Select Set Up Device to perform device setup, the 4c screen will be displayed, select Done to complete the process.

If after 45 seconds and you see screen 5a showing, this means that Alexa cannot search for any additional devices on your account. You can select Try discovery again on the screen to perform the Discovery process again to avoid errors that may be encountered on the network connection during the process.
After completing the steps above, you can check your devices by in the Devices Tab on Alexa’s main interface (screen 5b) select All Devices, screen 5c shows all devices on your Alexa account. At this screen you will see and check the information of all HuePress devices on your account. If you go through all the steps above and don’t see any devices, contact HuePress for assistance.
