    Doesn't work for me, all I get is a QR code that opens the app on my phone when I scan it. This is so frustrating!

    We added Alexa devices to our home this Christmas. We set everything up through the Alexa app. I never knew there was a desktop version and that it is preferable to the Alexa app. I find that app unstable at best. Thank you and you have a voice that’s meant for this CZcams videos.😊😊 keep up the great work

    Wow this a huge case to use a third party like a zwave controller that integrates with Alexa, works more reliably and better than adding even more low performing Wi-Fi devices to your already congested Wi-Fi network.
