Welcome to elero drive technology elero, based in Schlierbach near Stuttgart, is one of the world's largest manufacturers of electric drives and controls for roller shutters, sun protection systems and roller doors. A second division is engaged in the development and production of electric linear drives. The elero product range is extremely versatile and offers a comprehensive range of drives and controls as well as a wide range of electrical and mechanical accessories. The Skill offers users the possibility of transmitting switching commands conveniently by means of voice commands to the Centero system from elero. In this way the user can open and close his roller shutters, switch his light on and off or activate and deactivate scenes, a combination of different devices and actions, by voice command. Devices and moods can be switched that have been specifically activated by the user for use via voice command. The commands used come very close to normal language use, so that instructions can be easily internalized and become intuitive over time. Alexa - the brain behind Amazon Echo - is automatically updated via the cloud, constantly learning and gaining new functions and skills. The more often you use Alexa, the faster it learns your language habits, vocabulary and personal preferences.
Below are some examples of voice control:
`- "Alexa, activate all blinds open" `- "Alexa, activate all blinds close"; `- "Alexa, activate good morning" `- "Alexa, activate movie night".
The skill provides a code-based secure login, the certainty that authentication is done via a German authentication server and the security that devices/scenarios must first be approved for use by the user. To use this skill the user needs his Centero server, his compatible elero Centero devices and at least one Amazon Echo device. The function can be activated under extensions in the menu. Then the user can control the devices via voice commands. In the Centero app the user will find examples of usable voice commands (click on the grey I).
