Along with our existing digital innovations (the Black and Decker mobile app and the Black and Decker web application) we're now happy to introduce the Black and Decker skill!
If your Black and Decker robotic mower is fitted with a GSM module, this skill will allow you to perform the following actions via a simple voice command: @ Start a mowing operation @ Stop an operation and send the mower back to the Base Station @ Check mower's status @ Check when and how was mower's last operation @ Check the next departure time of the mower @ Enable and disable an automatic scheduled departure
HOW TO GET STARTED: 1) Create your Black and Decker account by registering in the Black and Decker mobile app or in the Black and Decker web (www.BlackandDecker.com/en-GB/BlackeandDecker) application . If you're already registered with Black and Decker, then skip this step 2) Enable Black and Decker skill on your Amazon Echo or Echo Dot device 3) Link the skill to your Black and Decker account by logging in with your email and password 4) Make sure your Black and Decker mower is ready in your lawn 5) Say "Alexa, ask Black and Decker what it is doing". The skill will reply with the updated status of your mower. 6) Say "Alexa, ask Black and Decker for help." The skill will reply with all available options for the voice commands.
THIS IS THE FULL LIST OF AVAILABLE VOICE COMMANDS (with expected response times): "Alexa, Ask Black and Decker if it likes mowing" (1-3 seconds) "Alexa, Ask Black and Decker how it is doing" (1-3 seconds) "Alexa, Ask Black and Decker when it worked last" (3-5 seconds) "Alexa, Ask Black and Decker how its last operation was" (3-5 seconds) "Alexa, Ask Black and Decker what it is doing" (10-15 seconds) "Alexa, Ask Black and Decker to enable automatic operation" (10-15 seconds) "Alexa, Ask Black and Decker when it will mow next" (10-15 seconds) "Alexa, Ask Black and Decker to disable automatic operation" (10-15 seconds) "Alexa, Tell Black and Decker to start mowing" (10-15 seconds) "Alexa, Tell Black and Decker to stop mowing" (10-15 seconds) "Alexa, Tell Black and Decker to go home" (10-15 seconds) "Alexa, Ask Black and Decker for help" (1-3 seconds)
COMPATIBILITY & LIMITATIONS: - Your robotic mower needs to be fitted with a GSM module to take out the most of the Black and Decker skill. - Certain commands ( start mowing, stop mowing, go home, etc.) will only work with the latest generation (UDP) of the GSM module. - In case the skill is unable to reach your mower, it will respond with: "I'm sorry, your robot mower is currently not responding. Please try again a bit later." - If the database of mower's recent operations is temporarily unavailable, the skill will respond with: "I'm sorry, there is currently no response from the database. Please try again a bit later."
