Grouping Discovered Devices

Use the Alexa app to designate groups of Legrand Lighting Control System devices. Groups allow control of multiple devices using a single Alexa command.

Alexa supports both switching and dimming commands. Switching commands simply activate and deactivate devices. Dimming commands allow various levels of control to be applied to the devices.

Example: A group named "basement" can have multiple devices located in the basement assigned to the group for control at one time.

NOTE: Dimming commands only activate dimmable devices. While all dimmable and non-dimmable devices in the same group respond to switching commands, only the dimmable devices can respond to dimming commands.

Common Amazon Alexa Commands

To turn devices ON or OFF: (Choose one word from each bracketed item in the statement)

• "Alexa, turn [my/the] [device/group name] [on/off]"
• "Alexa, turn [on/off] [my/the] [device/group name]"
• "Alexa, set [my/the] [device/group name] to [on/off]"

To brighten or dim devices: (Choose one word from each bracketed item in the statement)

• Dimming or brightening to a specific level:
  • "Alexa, brighten [my/the] [device/group name] to [1-100%]"
  • "Alexa, dim [my/the] [device/group name] to [1-100%]"
  • "Alexa, set [my/the] [device/group name] to [1-100%]"
• General dimming or brightening commands:
  • Commanding "Alexa, [dim/brighten] my [device]" results in an adjustment level of 25% for dimmable devices.
  • Commanding "Alexa, [dim/brighten] my [group name]" results in an adjustment level of 25% for only the dimmable devices in the group.
