Welcome to the guide to link the Cololight to Alexa. By the end of this guide you will be able to control your Cololights with the Alexa voice command. Enough talking, let’s go!
Setup
This setup is divided into two parts: Cololight preparation and Alexa.

i. Launch the Cololight app.
ii. Tap on the main menu (top left) and select ‘Setting’.

Step 2
i. Select ‘Account management’.

Step 3

ii. Now we move on to the Alexa part below.

Setup – Alexa
Step 1

Step 2
i. Search for ‘lifesmart’.
ii. You should be able to see ‘LifeSmart SmartHome’ in the results.

Step 4
i. Enter in your user id (which you copied earlier) and password.
ii. Tap on ‘Login’.

Step 5

Step 6
i. Back in the Alexa app, you will see 1 new light discovered – ‘My light’.
It appears as ‘My light’ because I have named it so in the Cololight app.


Step 7
i. Let’s try an Alexa command. For this example, I have named my Cololight as ‘My light’.
So I will say “Alexa, turn on My light”. Or “Alexa, set My light to red”.
ii. There you have it, now go and have fun!
