Setting up Alexa FAQs

  1. I'm setting up an Alexa Dot, but it won't connect to the app. Why?

    If an Echo Dot does not connect on the Alexa app, the device is most likely bricked (broken). We suggest to power cycle (unplug and replug the device) and check to make sure your Alexa app is on the latest version. If this does not work, try another device.

  2. What email and password do I use to login on the Alexa?

    Use the specific Speak2 email and password. You must use this to register the device. Email support@speak2family.com if you need the login information.

  3. How do I reset an Echo Show?
    Speak2 must deregister the device on the backend. If you wish to release a device from your community, it will no longer function as a community managed device and must be set up with another account. Email support@speak2family.com if you want to deregister a device.
