The Constellation Connect skill for Amazon Alexa enables you to control hundreds of paired smart home devices by simply using your voice*.
The Constellation Connect skill allows you to ask Alexa to control your lights, switches, plugs, thermostats, and more. You can also invoke Scenes configured with Constellation Connect and ask for the status of supported devices. The Constellation Connect skill for Amazon Alexa is available to all Constellation Connect customers with an active monitoring plan and an Alexa enabled device (e.g. Amazon Echo).
Getting the Constellation Connect skill set up is as easy as 1, 2, 3!
1. Once you have searched for and found the Constellation Connect skill in the Alexa app, tap “ENABLE”. You will be prompted to sign in to the Constellation Connect portal to link your Constellation Connect account to Alexa. 2. Next, select the devices you’d like Alexa to control. You can enter custom names for each device (e.g. John’s room lamp, kitchen door, upstairs thermostat, etc.). Please note, you should avoid using any special characters such as underscore (_) when customizing the device names. 3. Finally, tap “Done” and then tap “DISCOVER DEVICES” or ask Alexa to “Discover Devices”. This process can take up to 20 seconds.
