The process to connect Sengled Bulb to Alexa is fairly simple. There are a few key points to remember when you start the process and you should be done in no time.

When the light flashes two times, it is ready to be paired. Now follow these steps to connect Sengled Bulb to Alexa:

- As Alexa tells you that it is searching for nearby available devices, the Sengled Bulb should blink once more to indicate that it is working on connecting with Alexa.

You can also ask Alexa to add the Sengled Bulb to a group so that you can control a group of lights simultaneously. For Eg. ask Alexa to add a Sengled bulb to the “home lights” group, this way you will be able to turn on/off all the Sengled bulbs together.
