I tried to discover the Samsung Smartthings Button in Amazon Alexa but it’s not found. The SmartThings app is able to find the button though; however, Alexa app is not. Any suggestion?
Alexa doesn’t support buttons
See the following discussion, it will explain how you can still use the button with Alexa if you want to. (This is a clickable link)
I have a SmartThings Hub v2 and a number of Zwave devices that work fine.
I also have Amazon Echo/etc and added the SmartThings skill, which enables voice control of my SmartThings devices.
I recently added a Samsung SmartThings Button (Zigbee) and it also works fine.
However, I cannot figure out how to get the Amazon Echo to discover the Button. It doesnt seem to have a category within the Alexa App, and when I ask the app to “discover devices” it doesnt find any.
Do I need to put the Button in some sort of “discover” mode, or am I simply missing something?
