"The Skill offers users the possibility of conveniently transmitting switching commands to the Move system from Silent Gliss by means of voice commands. This allows devices and moods to be switched that have been specifically enabled by the user for use via voice commands. The commands used come very close to normal language use, so that instructions can be easily internalised and become intuitive over time. For example, the user could use the voice commands to open or close their blinds, siwtch lights on or off and activate and deactivate scenes that could combine different devices types together. Alexa - the brain behind Amazon Echo - is automatically updated via the cloud, constantly learning and gaining new functions and skills. The more you use Alexa, the faster it learns your language habits, vocabulary and personal preferences".
Below are some examples of voice control: `- "Alexa, activate all curtains open" `- "Alexa, activate all curtains 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 function the user needs his Silent Gliss Move server, his compatible Silent Gliss devices and at least one Amazon Echo device. The function can be activated under Extensions in the menu. The user can then control the devices via voice commands. In the Silent Gliss Move App the user will find examples of usable voice commands ( click on the grey I ) .
