You can now speak your commands or questions to Alexa, control the fan via the Homewerks Connect app, or use the included wall switch! Additional Fan Set-Up If you have more than one device in the same building to set up, turn off the power of this device completely before starting Step #4 on the 2nd device. When 2nd device set up completed, the 1st device can be turned on for normal operation. This is to avoid signal mixing up below devices during their set up so we need to pay attention to set up them individually.
You have successfully completed the set-up process and your Homewerks SmartVent fan is ready for use. You can now speak your commands or questions to Alexa, control the fan via the Homewerks Connect app, or use the included wall switch!
IMPORTANT: To operate the bath fan using standard Alexa commands, Step 14 must be completed successfully. To activate the special skills needed to control additional functions of the bath fan, please complete all 15 steps. If the set-up process fails for any reason after Step 14, click the GEAR icon next to BATHROOM in the Homewerks Connect app. Then click “Amazon Alexa Settings” and select “Link skill”.
