Q: QuestionMy ceiling light uses 3 bulbs. Will all three bulbs answer to the same command, or will I have to name each bulb individually and command all three to turn on/off and dim?

Asked 5 years ago by Kmgc61.

• A:Answer Each bulb will answer to a different command. You can set up a routine with Alexa that would include all 3 lights and then you tell Alexa the command like "give me light" or whatever phrase you want to think up. You would need 1 phrase to turn on and 1 to turn off. Once you set up a routine it is really very easy to do.
