VOICE CONTROL GUIDE

Thank you for purchasing your MERKURY smart home product. Make sure your devices are already set up using the TUYA app, then follow these steps.

Name and Control Each Device by Voice

Google Assistant

Things you can say*:

• "Hey Google, turn on all the lights in my bedroom."
• "Hey Google, turn off fan."
• "Hey Google, set the bedroom light to orange."
• "Hey Google, turn off the coffee machine.”
• "Hey Google, set the living room to 50%. "
• "Hey Google, dim porch light."

*Some commands require compatible devices.

1. Open the Google Home app and go to Home Control in the menu.
2. Tap the "+" button.
3. Choose TUYA from the list of Home Control partners.
4. Authorize your account with Google Assistant using the username and password from your TUYA app.

Now your Google Home app and MERKURY devices are linked! You're now able to say "Hey Google" and control your MERKURY devices.

At any time, go into the "Home Control" section of the Google Home app to set nicknames and rooms for your devices. You can rename your devices in the TUYA app, and Google Assistant will refer to them by the same name. So if you rename a smart plug to "Living Room" or a nickname like "Blossom," then Google Assistant will use that same name later on. You can always give it a nickname using the Google Home app as well. You can also assign plugs to a specific room, like "Bedroom" or "Kitchen." Google Assistant will be able to control devices by room.

Amazon Alexa

To control your MERKURY smart bulbs, plugs or surge protectors, just ask Alexa. Make sure your devices are already set up using the TUYA app.

Things you can say*:

• "Alexa, discover my devices."
• "Alexa, turn on the bedroom light."
• "Alexa, set the bedroom light to orange."
• "Alexa, turn off the coffee machine."
• "Alexa, set the living room to 50%. "
• "Alexa, dim porch light."

*Some commands require compatible devices.

1. Open the Alexa app and go to Skills in the menu.
2. Search for TUYA then tap Enable.
3. Authorize your account with Smart Home Skills using the username and password from your TUYA app.
4. Choose "Discover Devices." After a few seconds your MERKURY devices will be displayed under Smart Home in the Alexa app.

You can rename your devices in the TUYA app, and Alexa will refer to them by the same name. So if you rename a smart plug to "Living Room" or a nickname like "Blossom," then Alexa will use that same name later on. Alternatively, you can create an Alexa group, like "Bedroom" or "Downstairs," and add the device to the group. Alexa will recognize the group name in the Alexa app, or the device name in the TUYA app. More information is available at: http://tinyurl.com/alexa-smart-home-groups
