Naming Best Practices for Alexa

Proper naming of your rooms and scenes in the Neo Smart Blinds app is essential for reliable voice control using Alexa.
⚠️ Avoid naming conflicts: Alexa may not function correctly if your Neo Smart Blinds room or scene names are the same as existing Alexa devices or groups.
Do:
  • Use simple and distinct names like Living Room Shades, Bedroom Blinds, or Morning Scene.
  • Stick to common room names or clearly descriptive terms.
  • Rename any duplicates if Alexa shows "device not responding" or doesn't trigger scenes.
Don’t:
  • Avoid names like Light, Window, or Fan—these may conflict with other smart home categories in Alexa.
  • Don’t use the same name for multiple scenes or rooms.
  • Avoid special characters or punctuation.
Need to rename?
  • Open the Neo Smart Blinds app and edit your room or scene names.
  • Then go to the Alexa app, delete any outdated devices, and rediscover.
