To communicate with Amazon's Alexa, you need an Avi-on Remote Access Bridge (RAB) in your Avi-on network. Why? Because the RAB translates the Bluetooth signals of Avi-on compatible switches and devices into the Wi-fi signals of Amazon's Echo, Dot, Show, Spot, and other hardware. The Avi-on RAB enables you to use Alexa's voice control, and the RAB also enables you to control your Avi-on network from anywhere in the world, 24/7.
To get started, please follow these steps.
1) Use the Avi-on Mobile App to add the RAB to your Avi-on account and configure the Wi-fi settings. 2) Open Amazon's Alexa App, and find the Avi-on Skill by searching for "Avi-on." 3) Within the Alexa App, press the "Enable Skill" button. Enter your Avi-on username and password to link your Avi-on account and to discover your Avi-on compatible devices. 4) Tip: Within the Alexa App, customize your devices, groups, and scenes with the same names that you used in the Avi-on App. These can be changed at any time. 5) Tip: When using the Alexa Skill, use the customized name to specify each device so that you can keep everything straight. (If you have duplicate names, you will have a hard time using voice controls.) 6) Tip: Keep names short and simple. Long names are very difficult for Alexa to understand and synchronize.
Once you have customized the names of your devices, groups, or scenes in Avi-on, you can speak the following commands (and many more):
"Alexa, turn on the 'coffee pot'" "Alexa, set the 'office lights' to 50%" "Alexa, dim/brighten the 'entry way lights'" "Alexa, turn on the 'after hours' scene"
