IMPORTANT: We have discovered that some users are experiencing technical difficulties with Alexa integration for Hydrawise irrigation controllers. Some customers have reported the feature inoperable or unavailable. We understand that this feature being functional is important, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Full restoration of this feature and its functionality is undetermined. Our team is working diligently to find a solution for those users who count on this feature, and we will provide an update when one is available.
This guide will explain how to link your Amazon Alexa account to your Hydrawise account. Once you have linked your Alexa account to your Hydrawise account, you will be able to start, stop, or suspend zones using voice commands to your Alexa device. For example, you can say, "Alexa, ask Hydrawise to start Zone 1."
Note: Alexa supports only one controller per account. If you have multiple controllers linked to your account, Alexa does not know which controller you are referring to and will not be compatible. We now have Amazon Alexa approved for the following countries: the USA, Canada, Germany, and India.
To get started, you must have a Hydrawise account and your controller configured. If not, please register for a free account here. Once your Hydrawise account is ready, log in to your Alexa account. The Alexa account and your Hydrawise account can have a different email address without an issue.
- Log in to the Alexa app.
- Click on the More icon at the bottom of the app.
- Select Skills and Games.
- Using the search icon, look for Hydrawise Skill and select it.
- Select Enable.
This will open a new window for logging in to your Hydrawise account.
IMPORTANT: Please ensure you have enabled pop-ups for the Hydrawise log-in window. If pop-ups are blocked, you cannot log in and continue the linking process.
