Amazon Alexa is a voice service which brings hands-free living to your home, letting you control your
Home Connect appliances using your voice.
To use voice control with an Amazon Alexa device, you need to download a ‘skill’ for each appliance category within
the Amazon Alexa app. Example skills available include: Home Connect Oven and Home Connect Coffee Machine.
Please see page five of this document for instructions on how to download each ‘skill’.
You are able to use commands through voice, including turning the appliance on and stopping the appliances. You
can find examples of these commands on pages two - four of this document.
