Please follow the steps in the video.
It is important to ascertain if the issue is with Alexa/Echo, or with the Dyson product. Try asking Alexa a general question, such as 'Alexa, what is the weather for tomorrow?'
Operate your Dyson machine manually - use the remote or controls to turn the purifier on, or press the power button on the robot.
Echo’s connectivity status is indicated by the power LED on the bottom rear of the device, with white meaning good and orange denoting no WiFi connectivity. If you are experiencing intermittent connectivity or non-existent WiFi connectivity with your Amazon Echo, here's what to try.
First, reboot your router and turn your Echo off and on again, waiting at least 10 minutes to give time for them to reconnect. Whilst waiting, you can also try re-positioning your Echo away from devices that may be interfering with the signal.
You can also reduce the congestion on your WiFi network by removing unused devices from the network.
If you have a dual-band modem, you may effectively have two networks set up. Try switching the device from the 2.4GHz frequency to the 5GHz frequency or vice-versa.
5GHz promises less interference, better speeds and a more stable connection and it is often less congested.
Alternatively, 2.4GHz can better for devices that may be further away from the router, especially if the signal has to pass through walls.
Move your Echo to higher ground, like a bookshelf, to avoid signal interference.
To get started with Amazon Echo, place the device in a central location (at least eight inches, or 20cm, from any walls and windows). Plug the power adapter into Amazon Echo and then into a power outlet. The light ring on Amazon Echo turns blue and then orange. When the light turns orange, Amazon Echo greets you.
Next, you'll need to download the Alexa app. Go to the app store on your mobile device and search for 'Alexa app'. Then select and download the app. Launch the Alexa app and ensure the account details are filled out. In the Alexa app, open the top left menu. Select 'Settings', then 'Set up a new device'. On the top of your Echo, press and hold the 'Action' button for five seconds. The light ring turns orange and Echo will connect to your mobile device.
Back on the Alexa app, select home WiFi network and enter your home WiFi password. Select 'Connect'. A confirmation message will appear in the app.
Tip: If your Amazon Echo doesn't connect to your WiFi network, unplug and then plug the device into a power outlet to restart it. If you still have trouble, reset your Amazon Echo to its factory settings and set it up again.
Try talking to Alexa. You'll find that you can now use your Amazon Echo device. To get started, say the 'wake word' (Alexa) and then speak naturally to Alexa. Once you've set-up the Dyson skill, remember to use the trigger word (Dyson), pre-empted by the command 'ask/tell'. For example, "Alexa, ask Dyson purifier to turn on".
Your Amazon Echo device is set to respond to the wake word "Alexa" by default, but you can use the Alexa app to change the wake word at any time. In the app, go to 'Settings', select your Amazon Echo device and then select 'Wake Word'.
If you have the Dyson Link app and Alexa app both installed, and your Dyson machine and Amazon Echo are both connected, but your Dyson skill is not enabled:
Ask Alexa to enable the Dyson skill, or search for Dyson in the skills section of the Alexa app. Then select the 'Enable skill' button. Allow the Alexa skill to access your Dyson Link app account. Enter your Dyson Link app account details and select 'Allow' on the confirmation screen.
If you have the Dyson Link app installed, your Dyson machine is connected but the Alexa app is not installed and your Amazon Echo is not connected:
First, check the WiFi signal strength where your Amazon Echo is positioned, by using a device known to be working. Remember to place your Amazon Echo at least eight inches away from any walls or windows, in a central location. Ensure the power adapter is plugged in and switched on.
The light ring on the Amazon Echo will turn blue then orange. When the light turns orange, Alexa greets you. Next, download the Alexa app to set-up your Amazon Echo.
In the Alexa app, open the main menu and select 'Settings' and then 'Set up a new device'. Press and hold the 'Action' button on your Amazon Echo for five seconds. The light ring will turn orange and Echo will connect to your mobile device.
Next, select your WiFi network and enter your WiFi password. Then press 'Connect'. A confirmation message will display in the app.
If you have more than one Alexa-controlled Dyson machine, your voice commands should make it clear which one you want to control. You can include a word like 'purifier', 'fan' or 'robot' in your command so Alexa knows which one you mean.
If you have two or more similar machines, like a purifier in your kitchen and another in your bedroom, you can assign location labels to differentiate your machines.
Navigate to your machine's settings by selecting the cog icon on your machine's status screen. From here, select 'Your machine's settings'. If you're using a purifier, select 'Room name' and choose the appropriate location. If you're using a robot, choose 'Robot name' and select a room from the predefined list.
The Dyson skill is available in the following territories:
• Australia
• Canada (English only)
• Germany
• India
• Ireland
• United Kingdom
• USA
This is due to another user connecting to your machine and taking ownership of your robot.
When adding a second user, at the end of the connection journey you will be asked if you are the robots new owner. Please select 'No, I'm just using it'. You will be able to easily control, schedule, and monitor your robot but without affecting the registered user.
To override this if you are the registered first user and you have been disconnected, you will need to complete the connection journey again. When you are asked 'Are you the machine's new owner?', please select 'Yes, I own this machine'.
Check with the other users in your house or building that know of the home Wi-Fi password your robot is set up with, and interact with your robot, to ensure there is not a misunderstanding about usability or ownership.
If you are unsure of ownership and users, you can perform a factory reset as a last resort. Please be aware this will wipe all the settings and users from your robot.
Ensure your router is connected to the wall socket and you have good signal strength.
We recommend downloading the latest version of the Dyson Link app from your device's app store or marketplace. The Dyson Link App is available on the Apple App Store for iOS devices and the Google Play store for Android devices.
WARNING: You will be unable to download the app if you are not running a compatible version of your phone/tablet's operating system. Version 4.0 of the Dyson Link app runs on iOS versions 10 and above, and on Android versions 5 and above.
Launch the app on your mobile device.
Select your country.
If you already have a Dyson account select 'Sign in' and enter your username and password.
Or if you are new, select 'Register' to create an account and complete all fields.
Not sure you have an account?
This is the account you set-up to purchase your robot on the Dyson website.
We strongly recommend you allow the Dyson Link app to make automatic updates and accept notification.
To begin, please switch on your robot and place it on to charge. Your machine will require power throughout the connection process.
Make sure you have your home Wi-Fi network password to hand, as you will need this later.
Ensure Wi-fi is also turned on and connected on your mobile device, and that you are connected to your home network and not a public network or another Dyson product's network.
If you are connected to a different Wi-Fi network, please choose the settings option on your device to change to your home network, then return to the Dyson Link app.
Turn your device's Bluetooth on. This can be done by swiping down on your home screen and tapping the Bluetooth icon, or going into your settings and activating Bluetooth.
The Dyson 360 Heurist™ has been optimised to operate on both a 2.4 GHz and a 5 GHz Wi-Fi network
Press 'Get started'. The app will now perform a scan for products. Select your Dyson machine from the options.
If your robot does not show, you can select the "I can't see my machine" option. Choosing this option will help to diagnose why and offer some helpful hints.
Check the dock is plugged in and switched on, the machine is securely on the dock and the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are enabled on your device.
Connectivity could be disabled
To enable the Wi-Fi simply place the robot on the dock. Once enabled the animated Wi-Fi symbol will flash on the robot's display.
Now, hold your device next to your robot's display. This will allow your robot to detect your device.
To aid the pairing process, remove any cases or holders your device may be in, and touch the phone to the left of the information screen.
Press the power button on your machine.
This will activate the pairing process.
Please ensure that your Bluetooth and WiFi are turned ON, your purifier and router are plugged into a stable power source and turned on, and when you are holding your device close to the purifier, it touches the machine, is to the left of the information screen, and you have removed any cases or holders from your device.
You can enter a code manually to identify your machine instead. Your code is located under the filter, and on your user guide (made up of only numerical digits).
The code is made up of eight numbers and is specific to your own machine. If you are having trouble identifying your machine via the Bluetooth touch option, this code will identify your robot manually instead.
Ensure the numbers you have entered exactly match those found on the sticker located on the machine and on the user guide.
If you are still having problems with connecting the Dyson Link app and your robot, please start the connection journey again, taking care with the entry of passwords and selecting the home network.
You will now be prompted to enter your home Wi-Fi password. When entering your password, take care that you enter the correct characters (for example, 'I' and '1' and 'O' and '0' can easily be confused).
The network you are connecting to must be your home Wi-Fi network, not a public or Dyson Product Wi-Fi network.
If your app is taking a while to respond, please retry when prompted several times.
Ensure you have a constant and stable Wi-Fi connection, you remain in proximity to your router and robot, and the power supply to both remains stable.
If you are still having issues completing the setup, please retry the connection journey again from the beginning (to do this, press 'No' when asked if you want to retry, and then confirm you want to exit the journey. You will then be taken back to the home screen).
A common issue is incorrect entry of the home Wi-Fi password. To ensure it is correct, go into your device's setting's, 'forget' your Wi-Fi, and then sign back in using the password you have to hand. This ensures it is the most up to date version and all the characters are being entered correctly.
When entering your network password, press the 'Show password' option to ensure the characters being entered are a match. Certain characters can look similar, so take care that 'O', '0', 'I', and '1' are not mixed up.

The clean duration is an estimate only and will vary depending on the following factors;
The specific power mode per zone can either increase the estimated time or decrease it.
For example, MAX mode will offer a faster clean, but if the space is to large to complete off of one charge, the robot will need to return to the dock.
It is recommended you select the lowest power mode when creating a zone. This will offer an overall quicker cleaning time, especially in larger spaces.
Subject to the power mode selected and the space that robot is vacuuming, there may be a need for 1 or more recharges. Each recharge will add addition time over that previously estimated.
The robot may become stuck in an enclosed space, narrow area or upon an object. This includes underneath furniture, entering or exiting rooms with confined doorways, threshold strip between rooms or object not removed when preparing the vacuuming space.
The robot may display a status light (tracks or brushbar). This indicates the cause of the issue.
A hazard notification will be sent to the Dyson Link app.

This indicates the machine is charging and the dock is functioning correctly, however the lights on the dock may have a fault.
The robot cleans using a vision system and implements LED lighting: so that it can operate successfully.
Your robot senses low light areas and uses its ring of LED lights to selectively illuminate those areas, helping it to navigate.
It is normal for the illumination to change in brightness depending on the lighting conditions.
Keep the ring of LED lights clean by regularly cleaning with a soft, dry, lint free cloth.
If the robot is still not navigating successfully in the dark, this could be caused by uneven lighting transitions,
Please: close any curtains or blinds to prevent uneven lighting transitions, while ensuring there is fluid lighting throughout.
When there are an insufficient amount of features in a room (empty corridor for example).
When it goes underneath furniture so that it can’t recognise where it is in the room.
When you pick up the robot and put it down where it hasn’t been before, it will get lost as it hasn’t been there before.
If you pause it to pick it up and clean the brush bar or empty the bin for example, you should always put it back where you first picked it up or where it has cleaned previously – however it would still need to re-localise when you do this and this can take a short period of time.
To avoid this error, please view the Helpful Hints for information on where to place the dock and how to prepare the room. Your machine may appear 'lost' if the sensors have not been cleaned.
Check your infra-red sensors, lens and LED lights regularly. Use a soft, dry, lint free cloth to wipe all over the robot and especially the infra-red sensors, lens and LED lights.
