But a lot of people want to know if they can voice-control this lock using Alexa-enabled devices, so does Wyze Lock Work with Alexa?

Of course, this lock can be integrated with Alexa in order to give you the option to lock, unlock and know the status of your door using simple voice commands.

If you have an Alexa enabled device like Echo Dot, Amazon Echo, Echo Show, Echo Spot, Fire TV, and even your cell phone or tablet, you can use it to voice control your Wyze door lock.

But first they need to be connected and this is what I will show you in the following sections of this article.

Connect Wyze Lock to Alexa.

The first thing to do before connecting Alexa with your lock is to deactivate the Do Not Disturb mode to allow receiving notifications on your Echo devices, and here’s how to do it:

1. Go to the Alexa app on your mobile or tablet.
2. Open “Devices”.
3. Then select “Echo & Alexa”.
4. Choose your device.
5. Select “Do Not Disturb”.
6. Turn Do Not Disturb off.

After disabling the Do Not Disturb mode you need to link Alexa with your Wyze account by following the instructions below:

1. Open up the Wyze app on your mobile or tablet.
2. Go into your Account settings, then tap on “Works With” to link Alexa to your Wyze account.

You can also link the Wyze account from Alexa:

1. Ask Alexa to “Enable Wyze skill”.
2. Once enabled, follow the instructions on the Alexa app.
3. Enter your Wyze account to authorize Alexa to access your Wyze Lock.
4. Select “Add Device” so that Alexa can find your Wyze Lock.
5. Or you can say “Alexa, discover my devices”.
6. After Alexa finds your Wyze device, it’s listed under Devices in the Smart Home section of the Alexa app.

Change Wyze Lock name on Alexa app.

Maybe the name you attributed to your lock on the Alexa app is hard to use or it may be difficult for your voice assistant to hear it, you can change it on the Alexa app, follow the steps below to rename your lock:

1. Open the Alexa app on your phone or tablet.
2. Tap “Devices” at the bottom of the screen.
3. Scroll across the top and select Locks.
4. Then select your Wyze Lock.
5. Tap the gear icon at the top right corner of the screen.
6. Tap “Edit Name” and rename your lock.

I recommend using a simple name that you can remember and your Echo device can identify easily.

Note: You can use the Wyze app to change the device name but I don’t recommend this method because it requires your Amazon device to rediscover the lock in order for the new name to be reflected in the Alexa app, which means additional work.

How to enable the unlocking feature on Alexa.

For some security issues, the unlocking feature is disabled by default, so if you want to unlock your door lock with your voice you need to activate it by following the steps below:
