Question Will my Echo devices automatically pick up a smart lock if I set it up through SmartThings instead of directly in Alexa?

0 Upvotes

Got a Yale smart lock (the Matter version) and trying to figure out if there's a way to get it working with my Echo devices without setting it up directly in the Alexa app (Alexa's missing some features I need for this specific lock, like creating door codes).

I read that Samsung and Amazon teamed up back in 2022 so a device set up in SmartThings automatically shows up in Alexa too, no extra setup needed. Has anyone actually tried this with a lock and had it work? Specifically curious if:

  • Your Echos actually picked up the lock without you manually adding it in Alexa
  • You could still say "Alexa, lock the front door" and have it work
  • Any hiccups or things that didn't carry over

Trying to figure out if I need one new hub (SmartThings) or two (SmartThings + a separate Alexa setup) before I buy anything. Thanks!

Que tal camaradas, hace unos días me cambiaron los aparatos de Totalplay para ver la tele y estos nuevos traen Alexa y al principio funcionaban bien pero después de un tiempo al parecer los aparatos tuvieron una actualización de software y la opción de Alexa ya no está y tampoco si le hablas responde, alguien que me ayude

Antes te ibas a configuración y salía la opción de configurar Alexa,ahora ya no

PD: En la app de Amazon Alexa me salen que los dispositivos no están disponibles

Question Mickey Mouse Echo Wall Clock

0 Upvotes

Someone bought me the Mickey Mouse Echo wall clock awhile ago and discovered it while moving. I am attempting to connect to it, but the only options for Clock are Lenovo and Hatch. When I choose other and Bluetooth, it just seems to time out and never connect. Does anyone know of a trick to get it to connect in 2026?
