Anyone using these with Alexa I have a tech question.

Thanks,
I have two devices in the kitchen that I can control separately as lights.
If I control them individually they work ok.
If I say all off they don't work.
Not sure how you join them.

Ok, in the alexa app, go to 'smart home' then select 'create a group', add the devices into that group and then it should work. I use this for all lights and sockets (lamps) downstairs in a group 'downstairs'. Then I can use the 'turn off downstairs' command and they all go off.

Hope that helps.

I have a downstairs group which includes the kitchen and cupboard lights in the kitchen.
When i say lights off downstairs the cupboard light remains on.

How are the cupboard lights on Lightwave? I've only used sockets and mains lights for the alexa groups (although I have relays working fine as well, but they are not in a group).

Yes exactly the same switches I've replaced 6 now getting costly lol

And the switches work from the echo when doing them individually? Have you got any common names anywhere? e.g. cupboard somewhere else? The echo can't do devices with common words in the names.
