Renaming your WiiM Light in the Alexa app is straightforward; you can give it a new name to better identify it when giving commands. Here's how you can rename a WiiM Light device:
1. Open the Alexa App:
- Make sure your app is updated to the latest version.
- Open the Alexa app on your smartphone or tablet.
2. Navigate to Devices:
- Tap on the "Devices" tab at the bottom right of the screen.
3. Find the Device:
- Select the Lights category to find the WiiM Light device you want to rename.
4. Choose the Device:
- Scroll through the list until you find the WiiM Light device you want to rename.
- Tap on the device to open its settings.
5. Rename the Device:
- Tap on the "Edit Name" option.
- Enter the new name for your device. Choose a name that's easy to remember and makes sense for voice commands. For example, if it's a light in the bedroom, you might call it "Bedroom Light".
- After entering the new name, tap "X" to confirm the change.
6. Voice Commands:
- Once renamed, you can use the new name when giving voice commands to Alexa. For example, "Alexa, turn off the Bedroom Light."
Tips:
- Choose clear, distinct names for devices, especially if they're in the same category. It will reduce confusion both for you and for Alexa's recognition.
- If you have many smart devices, it might help to follow a consistent naming scheme, like naming all lights after the room they're in followed by "Light" (e.g., "Kitchen Light", "Living Room Light").
Remember to always check your devices in the Alexa app after renaming to ensure they respond correctly to their new names.
