How do you sync your Memphis smart home to your Amazon Echo or Google Home

Stick to these easy directions to link your Memphis smart home to your Alexa components:

• After you set up your Alexa device, enter the Amazon Alexa app and hit Skills & Games.

• Locate the Vivint Smart Home Skill. You’ll have two separate Alexa skills: Vivint Basic and Vivint Complete.

What voice commands are usable with your Echo or Nest speakers?

You can use almost every function of your Memphis smart home through your preferred AI assistant.
