I use The Alexa app. Create a group, like Living Room, and when editing the group add all devices you want to assign that group. You can then tell Alexa to turn on or off the Living Room and both plugs will be controlled. You can still call out for the individual plugs to be turned on or off. Also, you can create other groups with the same devices. In other words, a device can be added to more than one group. I have groups by room name, but also have some extra that are pieces of the room group and still more that span more than one room. Opportunity to be creative.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.In the Alexa App you can create a Group that contains multiple devices. On the Devices Page in the App there is an option to add a group. Create a group and add the plugs you want to control in that group. That should do it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Give each lamp a name so you can control them individually then set up a group called living room lights and add each plug to the group. Hope this helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It has to be programmed within the app itself.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You would need to add both plugs in same group. With voice command you would call out alexa to turn on/off that group name.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have a second smart socket how do I get it to work I have that already works in another room
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can create a group or name each light differently
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.rename them in the alexa app...edit and rename
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.As far as I can tell (I only have one) each plug has a name ie. 1st plug, etc so I am assuming they would be named in order. I think each works independently. You may have to tell Alexa to turn on 1st plug, then say, turn on 2nd plug-
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.One smart plug and an extension cord for both lamps should work
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
