Operating Instructions

Once paired, Echo Buttons can be used for various interactive experiences:

Playing Games: Echo Buttons are designed for interactive games with Alexa. When playing a compatible game, press your button to buzz in, answer questions, or perform other game actions as instructed by Alexa. The button's light will often change color to indicate your turn or status.
Activating Smart Home Routines: You can configure Echo Buttons to trigger specific Alexa smart home routines. For example, a single press could turn on lights, adjust a thermostat, or announce a custom message. To set this up, use the Alexa app to create or modify a routine and select the Echo Button as the trigger.
