How to Remove Smart Devices From Alexa
Removing smart devices from Alexa can be a bit of a hassle, but it’s a necessary task if you want to keep your Amazon account secure and tidy. If you have a smart home setup with Alexa, you’ve probably linked several devices, such as smart lights, thermostats, or security cameras, to your account. However, you may want to remove some of these devices for different reasons, such as selling or upgrading them, or simply decluttering your Alexa’s device list. Here’s an easy-to-follow guide on how to remove smart devices from Alexa:
Step 1 – Open the Alexa app
The Alexa app is available for Android and iOS devices and can be downloaded from the respective app stores. Once you’ve installed the app, open it and log in to your Amazon account. Make sure you’re signed in with the same Amazon account that you used to set up your smart devices.
Step 2 – Tap on Devices
In the bottom menu, tap on the “Devices” icon. This will take you to the list of all the devices linked to your Alexa account.
Step 3 – Select the device you want to remove
Scroll through the list of devices until you find the one you want to remove, then tap on it to open its settings page.
Step 4 – Tap on the “Trashcan” icon
At the top of the device settings page, you’ll see a “Trashcan” icon. Tap on it, and you’ll be asked to confirm your selection.
Step 5 – Confirm removal
Tap on “Remove” to confirm that you want to remove the device from your Alexa account.
Step 6 – Repeat for additional devices
If you have more than one device to remove, repeat steps 3-5 until you’ve removed all the devices you want to.
Note: If you’re removing a device that’s part of a group or routine, you’ll need to remove it from those configurations first before you can remove it from your Alexa account.
That’s all there is to it! Removing smart devices from Alexa is a simple process that can help streamline your smart home setup and keep your account secure. If you ever need to re-add a device, simply follow the setup instructions for that particular device and link it back to your Alexa account.
