In this video, I will take you through the steps to allow Amazon’s Alexa to control you Wyze WiFi Smart Plug.

I picked up a couple of these Smart Outlets on Amazon for about $20 US.  I’m becoming a big fan of the Wyze products because of their quality, ease of use and the price point.  This is my 4th video featuring Wyze, so make sure to check those out.

Today, we’ll be adding the Wyze skill to my Alexa app. This will include allowing Alexa to access the devices on my Wyze account.  I have been using the Alexa and Wyze apps for quite some time and both are already installed on my phone.

I have a Wyze WiFi outlet plugged in and I’ll open the Wyze app.

In the Wyze app, I see the outlet, and I can turn the Night Light on and off.
