Amazon invested over 24 Billion dollars into R/D last year. They are driven to lead the voice-controlled 
market and therefore we believe the best products to voice control Stitchy are Alexa units. 

Connecting Stitchy to Alexa Echo/Dot/Show (+ Philips Hue 

Bridge) 

These steps are for connection of Alexa by the Philips Hue Hub and should not be confused with the steps to 
connect directly to the Alexa Echo 

Plus/Show 10

 which already has Zigbee built in (shown later).

With your phone/tablet on the same wifi network as the Philips Hue Bridge open the Alexa App

Either create an account or input your Amazon account details.  After put your user details into login 
(such as address and locations) 

Click I’m someone else or click on your name  >  Input your first and last name (main user)

Remember if you are doing this for someone else make sure you use "their" Amazon login and you 
set the system up as “Someone Else” “DO NOT USE YOUR LOGIN DETAILS/NAME”

Click Continue  >  Either input your clients phone number for messaging  >  Click Continue or Skip

Skip through the general information until you arrive at the home screen  >  Click the 3 bars  (top left 
corner)

Click on Skills & Games   >  Click Search (magnifying glass in the top right corner)

Type in Philips Hue and Search  >  Select Hue  >  Click Enable to use

Fill in your Philips Hue account details  >  Click Yes to trust this application  >  Click Done

Devices were added together with Hue 

Click Devices (bottom right)  >  Click + (top right)  >  Click Add group

Select room or name  >  Click Next  >  Chose Light and Save

Follow steps 10-11 until you have finished or click on Devices at the bottom of the screen

Test the lights operation by clicking on the light and checking its turning on/off
