No, doesn't matter what device, as long as it's registered to the same account. Once I set my Wemo up via my phone, I could immediately control it on all my dots and echoes.
I didn't read the link you posted but set up is pretty straight forward. Open the Wemo app, click "Add a Wemo," follow the instructions. Takes two min.
Linking it to Alex takes two min more to enable the skill and link the Wemo account. The Wemo app might even walk you through that, I can't recall.
Not quite as easy as Amazon's own "I found a new plug! Done!" system, but at easy enough....and the Wemo works on both my wife's profile and mine, unlike Amazon's own.....
