How to Set Up Your Alexa After Moving
Here’s how to set up Alexa once you’ve moved into your new spot: If you’re unable to connect to your new Wi-Fi network, you may need to reset your Alexa, then set it up like a new device. Once your Alexa devices are set up to work with your new Wi-Fi network, you’re ready to start using them. However, there are a few other settings you’ll want to tweak to make sure everything runs smoothly. To access information that’s relevant to your new location, you have to change your address in the Alexa app for each of your Alexa devices. Open the Alexa app and tap Devices > Echo & Alexa > your echo device > Device Location. Enter your new address, then tap Save. Open the Alexa app, and tap Devices > Echo & Alexa > your echo device > Time Zone. Select your new time zone, then tap Change. Repeat this process for each of your Alexa devices. To get everything running smoothly again, you’ll have to set up new smart home groups to reflect the way your devices are set up in your new home. For example, some of your old living room devices may now be in an office, a guest room, or elsewhere. To rename an Alexa device, simply launch the Alexa app, tap Devices > Echo & Alexa, then tap the device you want to rename. Tap Edit Name on the next screen to change the name of the device. To reconfigure your flash briefing, tap Settings > Flash Briefing, swipe the toggles for any local news sources you’re no longer interested in, then tap Add Content to find local news sources relevant to your new city or state.
