Can you change Alexa light ring color?

Answered by John Hunt

You can change the color of the Alexa light ring on your Echo device. The light ring is the circular band of light that encircles the top of your Echo device and indicates its status and response to your voice commands.

To change the color of the Alexa light ring, you can use voice commands or the Alexa app on your smartphone. Let’s first explore how to do it using voice commands. Simply say, “Alexa, change the light ring to [color].” Replace [color] with the specific color you desire. For example, you could say, “Alexa, change the light ring to blue.”

Alternatively, you can use the Alexa app to change the color of the light ring. Open the app and navigate to the Devices tab at the bottom right corner. From there, select your Echo device. On the device page, you will find various settings and options related to your Echo device. Look for the option called “Light Ring” or “LED Color” and select it.

Next, you will be presented with a color palette or a list of color options to choose from. Select the color you prefer for your Alexa light ring. Once you have made your selection, save the changes, and the light ring on your Echo device will update to the new color.

It’s worth noting that not all Echo devices have a customizable light ring. Devices like the Echo Dot and Echo Show have a fixed color for their light ring. However, there are devices like the Echo Plus and Echo Studio that allow you to change the color of the light ring.

In terms of personal experiences, I recently got an Echo Dot with Clock, and I was delighted to discover that its light ring color can be changed. I found it convenient to use the Alexa app to choose the color that matched my room decor. It added a touch of personalization to my Echo Dot and made it blend seamlessly with my bedroom ambiance.

Changing the color of the Alexa light ring is possible through either voice commands or the Alexa app. Whether you prefer the convenience of voice control or the flexibility of app customization, you can easily switch up the color of your Echo device’s light ring to suit your preferences.
