Re: Alexa Turns My Light On/Off But Echo Dot Doesn't

Great point!  I feel the same way you do.  I have six Echos in my house and 
have them all linked together so that I can hear music in every room.  I guess 
you can say I have a self-created sound system.  Haha!  You go girl, Alexa!

I don’t have a dish washer, I do it myself,
I don’t have a automatic dryer as they cost to much to run.

And I said they are making us fat and lazy,
Not that you were fat and lazy.

Yes, just like clothes washers, dish washers, dryers, microwaves, cars, and so 
on make us lazy and fat. If you don’t see a need for home automation then don’t 
use it, but don’t call those who see a use for it lazy and fat.

Hi, Group.
I installed Gosund Smart Bulb. I installed just one bulb in my living-room.
Gosun app is very accessible and turns this light on/off and so does Alexa App. 
Echo Dot, however, does not turn it on/off. When I ask Alexa to turn the light 
on, she says ok and turns on, when I say Alexa turn it off, she says ok and 
turns it off.
Echo Dot however does not do that. When I say turn the living room light on, 
she ask which group and at the same time asks a question, do you mean kitchen 
light?
When I say livingroom light, she says something like there is no livingroom 
light.
How can I fix Echo Dot, please?
Thanks!
