Troubleshooting

1. Why can’t my Echo discover the door sensor? It has a ZigBee hub built-in.
   • Reboot your Echo by unplugging/plugging it back in.
   • Set the door sensor into pairing mode by long press the reset button inside the device, the blue LED flashes rapidly.
   • Keep the door sensor near the Echo with ZigBee hub build-in, then ask Alexa to “discover devices”.
   • If it is still not working, please factory reset your Echo, re-add echo then re-discover device again, then pair it with your Echo device again.
2. I have a SmartThings hub, do I need a special hub for the door sensor?
   1. Enable the SmartThings Skill in your Alexa app and sign in to link your accounts on both platforms.
   2. Go to the Devices tab in your Alexa app and add devices to sync your devices under SmartThings to Alexa: “+” icon(on the upper right corner)->Add Device->Other. Create a routinefor the door sensor and light switches in your Alexa app,
   3. you can use door open/close to trigger things like light on/off, or you can set an Alexa “custom message” when the door sensor detects a door is opened.
3. Why nothing shows up for devices or group on the Third Reality app? I am using a SmartThings hub.
   Because you are using Echo (Alexa APP) and SmartThings (SmartThings APP), it will bypass Third Reality app. Only when you are using Third Reality Hub (which is equivalent to SmartThings Hub), then the Third Reality app is required and will show the device in the app.
