With the Roomie Remote Custom Skill and Alexa, you can now interact with your Roomie Remote devices by voice. To get started, select the ‘Enable Skill’ button in the Alexa App to link your Roomie Remote account.
Requires Roomie Remote for iOS with Roomie Service, and a designated Primary Controller. Roomie Remote must be signed in to your Roomie Remote account, and your Primary Controller must be running in order to accept commands.
After linking your Amazon Alexa app with the Roomie Remote Custom Skill, commands are phrased in the following ways.
Alexa, tell Roomie Remote to ...
For example, to start an Activity called Listen to Sonos in a Room named Office, you could say:
Alexa, tell Roomie Remote to Listen to Sonos in the Office
Keep the following in mind when structuring your Custom skill command phrases:
• Suggested Room names: Bedroom, Kitchen, Office, Living Room, Family Room, Dining Room, Parlor, Theater, Kid's Room, Kid's bedroom, Baby's Room, Baby's bedroom, Nursery, Guest Room, Guest bedroom, Bath, Bathroom, Restroom, Basement, Great Room, Drawing Room, Gym, Garage, Library, Patio, Cellar, Hall.
Recommended Activity suffixes (these would be preceded by the normal prefixes, like Watch, Listen to, Play, and so on): TV, Television, Roku, Dish, TiVo, Plex, Sonos, Receiver, Music, Lights, Shades, Blu-ray, DirecTV, Fire TV, Fireplace TV, Kitchen TV, Apple TV, Mac, Camera, Power Off, System Off.
Make sure to adhere to standard Activity names as generated by Roomie Remote, such as “Watch TiVo” or “Listen to Sonos”. Non-standard Activity names have a higher probability of not being correctly recognized.
• When referring to Rooms and Activities, use Rooms and Activities that are currently configured in Roomie Remote.
• Not all command phrases need to specify an Activity and a Room. Instead, if the context of the command phrase is clear, the additional information does not need to be included.
For example, if you give the command phrase:
Alexa, tell Roomie Remote to set the current Room to Office
Roomie Remote would set the current Room to the Office.
Then if you wanted to mute the current Activity in the Office, the next command phrase would only need to be:
Alexa, tell Roomie Remote to mute
The Room context is clear, so it does not need to be part of the command phrase.
