I understand your frustration with your Echo Show not connecting to your Blink camera. This can be a common issue, but fret not! There are several things you can try to fix it. Here are some troubleshooting steps:
Basic checks
- Software updates: Make sure you have the latest versions of the Blink app and the Alexa app installed.
- Restart devices: Unplug your Echo Show for 30 seconds, then plug it back in. Do the same for your router and your Blink Sync Module (if applicable).
- Wi-Fi: Ensure your Echo Show and Blink devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
Connection troubleshooting
- Disable and re-enable the Blink SmartHome Skill: In the Alexa app, go to “Skills & Games”, search for “Blink SmartHome”, disable the skill, and then enable it again.
- Manually discover Blink devices: In the Alexa app, go to “Devices”, tap the “+” icon, and select “Discover Devices”.
- Unlink and relink Blink devices: Open the Blink app, tap “Settings”, then “Account and Privacy”, and finally “Link to Alexa”. Tap “Unlink All Devices from Alexa” and then follow the on-screen instructions to relink your devices.
Advanced troubleshooting
- Check your Blink Sync Module: Make sure the LED light on your Blink Sync Module is solid blue, indicating a good internet connection.
- Reset your Blink Sync Module: If the LED light is not solid blue, try resetting your Blink Sync Module by pressing and holding the reset button for 5 seconds.
- Contact Blink Support: If you’ve tried all of the above and your Echo Show still won’t connect to your Blink camera, contact Blink Support for further assistance.
