Input your CORRECT login information for the Amazon account that your devices are registered with, then tap on 'Sign In'.

At this point, close the browser window and go back into the Hubitat web interface.
-
Open the Echo Speaks App and press Save then wait a couple of minutes.
-
Your app needs to communicate with Amazon and this can sometimes take about 1 minute.
So after waiting for about 1 minute you can open the Echo Speaks App and you should see the Installed Devices section populated.

Once you see your devices scroll down.
-
Tap on the Device Testing

Tap on the Speech Test
Step 11:
#
Select the devices to test and activate the Perform the Speech Test toggle.
- This will send a test text to speech command to selected devices.
- If you hear the broadcast on your echo devices, then good.
- If not, sometimes you will need to go into a device under devices and set the volume and try the speech test from there.
You're Done!

Once you have completed these steps you are done. You can now use the devices in any of your supported Hubitat automations.
