Configuration

Every setting is saved on the device itself, and the places that show it stay in step: change it in one and the others follow.

Where	What’s there
On an Echo Show: the gear in the dock	Nearly everything, grouped the way a phone’s settings are. Settings on the screen
On the EchoLocal card	The same settings, laid out by area, with a ? beside each that explains it. The EchoLocal integration
In a browser: the device’s own web page	Every setting, plus alarms, calls, broadcasts and troubleshooting. In a browser
In Home Assistant	An entity for each setting, on the device page and usable in dashboards and automations, plus some that are only there. Settings in Home Assistant

The Echo Dot has no screen, so its settings are in Home Assistant and on the card.

Finding a setting

1. Look it up on Settings on the screen. Each row there names its Home Assistant entity.
2. If it isn’t there, it’s on Settings in Home Assistant.
3. In Home Assistant, open Settings → Devices & services → ESPHome, pick the device, and look under the sub-device the setting belongs to (which one).

Settings that stay on one device

Config sync leaves these alone, since they belong to the device and the room it’s in:

• Brightness, auto brightness and display size
• Microphone tuning: gain, leveling, noise and echo cancellation, sensitivity
• Camera picture and stream settings
• Bluetooth scanning
• Home control: which tabs are on, the entities picked for them, and how they’re grouped
• The intercom’s auto-answer lists: panels and users
• The Cameras app’s Home Assistant URL
• Whether Home Assistant’s API adoption is allowed

The device’s name and Wi‑Fi aren’t settings, so they aren’t copied either.

Config sync

Copy settings from one device to another, so a second one starts out set up the same way. It works between Echo Shows, and with Lenovo Smart Displays running LANovo, on the same network; settings the other device doesn’t have are skipped. The Echo Dot doesn’t take part.

1. On one device, open Settings → System → Config sync.

2. Find the other device, then tap its upload arrow to send this one’s settings to it, or its download arrow to fetch its settings.

3. Enter the six-digit code shown on the other device.

The receiving device reports how many settings it applied.
