Amazon Alexa

You can rename your devices in the Geeni app, and Alexa will refer to them by the same name. So if you rename a smart bulb 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 Geeni app.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I share with family and friends? Yes, you can share your appliances with family and friends who will have access to control your bulbs, plugs, cameras, and other Geeni devices. In the Geeni app, press the Profile button and click on the "Device Sharing" button, and you will be able to give or revoke sharing permissions. In order to share, the other user should already have downloaded the Geeni app and registered a new account.
Can I group multiple GEENI devices together? Yes, you can group multiple devices of the same type together, by room, location, or however else you want. The same devices can be in multiple groups. (For example, create a group for "Bedroom" and another group for "Entire House", and your Bedroom lights can be included in both groups). From your main device list, click on one of the devices you want to group. Press the "···" button on the top right for advanced settings, and click Create Group. You'll then be able to choose which devices you'd like to group together and will be able to rename them.
How Many Devices Can I Control? Geeni can control an unlimited amount of devices in an unlimited amount of locations. Your router may have a limit of how many devices can be connected to one router.
My GEENI device has a funny name. How do I rename it? From your main device list, click on one of the devices you want to rename, press the "···" button on the top right for advanced settings, and click Modify Device Name (or Modify Group Name, if applicable). You'll then be able to choose a more familiar name.
The device appears offline or unreachable, what should I do? Make sure your Wi-Fi router is online and in range. Make sure you have the latest Geeni functionality by clicking "Check for firmware update" in your device settings.
What's the Wireless Range? The range of your home Wi-Fi is heavily dependent on your home router and the conditions of the room. Check with your router specifications for exact range data.
If my Wi-Fi/Internet goes down, will Geeni still work? GEENI products need to be connected to Wi-Fi in order to use them remotely.
