Using the NodOn Zigbee Lighting Module with an Amazon Voice Assistant

The NodOn Zigbee Lighting Module (SIN-4-2-20) is compatible with many devices, in particular Amazon voice assistants such as the Echo and any that integrate the Zigbee protocol. To find out more about this module, read our article Connect your existing lighting to your Zigbee system with the SIN-4-2-20 module.

This means you can control one or two lights by voice with Alexa.

When you power up the module, the LED will flash orange, indicating that it is searching for a Zigbee network for 15 minutes.

There are 2 ways to set up the module with an Amazon voice assistant:

- By voice

- Using the Amazon Alexa smartphone app

By voice:

Simply say ‘Alexa, discover my devices’. The voice assistant will automatically search for the module and add it to its Zigbee network.

Once the module has been found and added to the network, its LED will turn green and Alexa will confirm that it has found the device ‘First Light’. You can change this name later in the Amazon Alexa app.

In the app, you will find the module, which has been recognised and added automatically, in the ‘Lights’ section. From there, you are free to rename it, add it to a routine or control it directly by tapping the button in the centre of the screen.

To control it by voice, you can say ‘Alexa, turn on first light’ or ‘Alexa, turn off first light’, replacing ‘first light’ with the name you have chosen.

If you want to remove the module from the Zigbee network, you can delete it directly from the Amazon Alexa app.

Using the Amazon Alexa app:

Tap ‘Devices’ at the bottom of the screen, then ‘Add Device’. Next, choose ‘Light’ and select the brand ‘Other’. Then tap ‘Discover Devices’. Alexa will then start searching for your module…

Once the module has been found, all you need to do is configure it and, if necessary, rename it or assign it to a group or routine.

Of course, the wired switch remains fully functional.

Turning on the living room light has never been so easy! :)
