• Yes. Oddly, you have to use the Alexa Web App and Internet Explorer for it to work. It seems something about the pairing process using other browsers messes up the Samsung website. Modern browsers such as Edge and Chrome seem to have issues with it. I had no luck on mobile.

• I had a hard time getting alexa to control my washer and dryer through the smart things app/skill. The app had the washer/dryer but alexa would only find the TV's in the account not the appliances. I then realized that you need to enable the "Samsung Smart Home" skill. As soon as I did, I had voice control over the appliances.

• No problem using my phone and Alexa app. It will take some time for Amazon server to register and accept your request

• Yes! I used the home app to set up to network. Then I added the PowerBot 7040 to my Smarthings hub. I can command it using Alexa. The odd thing is that Alexa added a second PowerBot to my Smartthings app but all I had to do was delete the PowerBot that only had the Alexa app associated to it.

• You connect the PowerBot to the Samsung Home App. Alexa talks to the Samsung Home App. Very easy setup.

• Yes, very easy to setup. I connected the vacuum to the Samsung Home App, and Alexis will talk to the app.

• I have not been able to, as even when it has completed the wifi setup configuration, the app believes itself to not be connected to the vacuum.
