A Wonderboom 1 beside an Alexa Amazon Echo Dot 3rd Generation.
This post shows how to connect Wonderboom to Alexa smart devices. Since this pairing happens between the Wonderboom and Echo devices directly, you need not turn Bluetooth on in the mobile device you’re using to set up this connection.
With your Wonderboom powered OFF (status lamp is dark), run through this routine to connect it to your Alexa Echo, Show, Studio, Input, and Dot models. We use an iPad Air tablet to set this up.
We found the app on the iPad Air as shown in the next shot. In this exercise, the app is on the third Home screen page, pointed at by the blue arrow.
The app displays its Home screen as we see in the next screenshot.
Find the hamburger item in the lower right corner of the screen. We point at this with the green arrow in the last screenshot.
This brings up the Alexa app’s main menu, as shown in the next screenshot.
The Settings option is pointed at by the green arrow in the last photo.
This brings up the Settings screen, as shown in the next screenshot.
Touching Device Settings brings up the All Devices page, as shown next.
From here, choose which Echo device you wish to pair with your Wonderboom.
This takes you to the device-specific settings screen for the speaker you chose.
In this demo, we’re pairing from our Thomas’s 2nd Echo Dot 4 to our Wonderboom, and so, its device specific settings screen looks as follows.
Find the Connect a Device option pointed at by the green arrow in the last screenshot.
This brings up the Setup screen, as we show next.
At this point, your Alexa device scans for nearby Bluetooth devices that are in pairing mode. Here, we selected an Echo Dot 4 earlier. So, this speaker will be the one that scans for BT devices.
Note that our Dot found no devices so far. But it will in the next steps, when we turn on the Wonderboom and put it in pairing mode.
Bring the Wonderboom close to your Alexa device to pair, and power it up by pressing and releasing the Power button as we show in the next picture.
Put it into pairing mode by pressing and holding in the Pairing button, as illustrated in the next picture. Release when you hear the pairing sound.
Then the Wonderboom should then appear in the Alexa app, on the Pair Bluetooth Device… page, as we see next.
Note that if your Wonderboom does not show up on this page at this point, then try moving it very close to the Alexa, closing and restarting the app, and then repeating steps 3 through 7 along with step 9 above. We usually find that this gets the speaker to appear here as it should.
See the last screenshot above. Our Wonderboom is there.
Pair to the Wonderboom by tapping its corresponding entry on the Pair Bluetooth Device… screen, we see in the last screenshot above.
Your Alexa then pairs.
The app then takes you back to the Thomas’s 2nd Echo Dot 4 screen, which looks something like the following.
Note that our Wonderboom now shows as connected. Also, it makes the Speaker Paired (ker-plonk) sound.
This Wonderboom is now connected with your Alexa device. Its Bluetooth light glows solid white to signal that successful pairing is now in effect.
We can now ask Alexa to play music or news, and those programs will come out of the Wonderboom. Be sure though, to speak to the Echo when making requests, and not the Wonderboom. Even though the Wonderboom is now paired with Alexa, the Echo is still the devoce that hears your voice commands through its internal far field microphones.
