Unsupported Sengled Bulbs

At this time, certain Sengled smart bulbs do not integrate with Amazon Alexa, as they do not have a way to talk to a server on the Internet.

Sengled Pulse

At this time, the Sengled Pulse line of bulbs only connect via Bluetooth, not Zigbee or Wi-Fi. They will only talk to another Bluetooth device such as your phone, or the Sengled Pulse Link.

Sengled Smartsense

The Sengled Smartsense bulbs have no connectivity, rather they just provide a convenient motion sensor combined with an energy efficient light.

Sengled Element with Other Hubs

If you're using your Sengled Element bulbs and devices with a 3rd party hub, such as Wink or SmartThings, Amazon Alexa can access these bulbs through those services instead.
