Integrating your Bototek SP10 Smart Plug with Google Home or Amazon Echo allows for convenient voice control and automation. Here's how to connect your smart plug to each platform:
Connecting to Google Home:
- Prerequisites: Ensure you have a Google Home device (or an Android phone with Google Assistant), the Google Home app installed, and a Google account.
- Smart Life Setup: Log in to your Smart Life account and add your SP10 Smart Plug. Consider renaming it in the Smart Life app to something memorable like "living room lamp."
- Google Home App Setup: Open the Google Home app, sign in with your Google account, and follow the setup instructions if you haven't already connected your Google Home device.
- Link Smart Life: In the Google Home app, tap the "+" icon to "Set up device", then choose "Works with Google". Search for "Smart Life" and select it from the list. Enter your Smart Life account credentials, select your region, and tap "Link Now" to connect your Smart Life account. Assign your devices to rooms within the Google Home app.
- Voice Control: Your smart plug should now appear in the Google Home app. You can control it using voice commands like, "Okay Google, turn on the living room lamp."
Connecting to Amazon Echo:
- Prerequisites: You'll need the Amazon Alexa app, an Amazon account, the Smart Life app, an Echo device (Echo, Echo Dot, etc.), and your SP10 Smart Plug already added to your Smart Life account.
- Echo Setup: Open the Alexa app and sign in. If you haven't already, set up your Echo device by following the in-app instructions.
- Enable the Smart Life Skill: In the Alexa app, navigate to the "Skills & Games" section and search for "Smart Life." Select the Smart Life skill and tap "Enable." You will be prompted to link your Smart Life account.
- Discover Devices: After linking your accounts, say "Alexa, discover devices" or use the "Discover Devices" option in the Alexa app. Alexa will search for your smart plug.
- Voice Control: Once discovered, you can control the SP10 Smart Plug with voice commands, such as, "Alexa, turn on the living room lamp." You can also create device groups within the Alexa app to control multiple devices simultaneously.
Following these steps will allow you to easily control your Bototek SP10 Smart Plug via voice commands through either Google Home or Amazon Echo.
