8. Verify that your account is linked and permissions are granted.
9. Say the following command to Alexa "Alexa tell smart dry find my sensor" . Alexa will respond with the sensor name if it is found.

Common SmartDry Alexa Commands:

"Alexa ask Smart Dry are my clothes dry"

"Alexa ask Smart Dry the clothes dryer status"

"Alexa tell Smart Dry find my sensor"
"Alexa tell Smart Dry register my sensor"

Save Sensor Name
An alternate way of linking your sensor to your Alexa device is to manually save the sensor Id. Alexa typically does not understand single letters well so the procedure above is preferred. If you are using this method say each letter distinctly with a slight pause between letters. You may also use the phonetic alphabet to improve Alexa's accuracy. If you have difficulty with this contact us and we can link the account for you.
"Alexa tell Smart Dry my sensor is A 1 B 2 C 3"
"Alexa tell Smart Dry my sensor name is A 1 B 2 C 3"
"Alexa tell Smart Dry write A 1B 2 C 3"
A 1 B 2 C 3 is your six digit sensor name that can be found in the SmartDry App settings page or on the back of the SmartDry Sensor.
Say "zero" for the digit 0.
