How To Connect WiZ Lights To Alexa?

As we’ve mentioned in the introduction there are two methods you can use. The first approach would be by linking both applications and establishing the connection.

The second way would be to manually integrate the WiZ skill into your Alexa app and get both devices hooked up.

There is a preparation that you need to undertake before starting with the methods.

Preparation

Regardless of whether you’re using an iOS or Android device, you would need to download both applications (Amazon Alexa app and Phillips WiZ app).

Open the dedicated application store on your device and install both applications beforehand.

When ready, let’s start with the easier method, which is by linking both applications.

3. Go down to Integration and select it.
4. Choose Amazon Alexa.
5. Press on Link My Account.
6. Log in to your Amazon Alexa account.
7. On the Account Linked page, click Finish.

The integration should now be complete. To finalize and establish the connection between both devices, jump down to the after account link guide.

Method #2 Manually Connect WiZ & Alexa

In case you’re unable to link your WiZ and Alexa accounts via automatic integration, there is an alternative method to do it manually.
