To use this skill, you will need an account with Independa and an Independa-enabled device, please contact support@independa.com if you don't already have both of these requirements.
To link an Alexa-enabled device to a care recipient, follow these steps: - Make sure the device is powered on and has access to the internet - Using a web browser, go to https://our.independa.com/provision/devices - Log in using your Independa account credentials - Select the appropriate care receiver from the dropdown at the top right of the page - Click the yellow "+ ADD" button - Select "Smart Speaker" from the first dropdown list, and "Amazon Echo Dot" from the second dropdown list - Say "Alexa, open Independa", which will provide you with a four-digit registration code at the end of the message - Enter the registration code in the "ID" field on the browser, and click the "SAVE" button - That's it! You're all registered. Now that Alexa-enabled device is linked to that specific care receiver. If at any point you would like to unlink the device, click on the "Edit Device" button and then the "Delete Device" button.
Once the device is linked, the care recipient can use voice commands to open and interact with Independa on their TV, and also retrieve relevant information from the Independa system. Below is a list of commands to help them get started.
To open Independa on the TV, say "Alexa, open Independa". The microphone will remain open for about four seconds, and you can give subsequent commands without having to say "Alexa, ask Independa to...".
To close Independa and go back to watching TV, say "close Independa" or "watch TV".
To hear a generalized help menu, say "open the help menu".
To get help with a specific feature from the help menu, say "help me with <feature name>". For example, saying "help me with navigation" will give detailed instructions on how to use voice commands to navigate Independa on the TV.
To hear events from the care recipient's community calendar, say "what events can I do". This will default to events in the next two hours, but you can request activities within a certain time period by saying "what events can I do between <start time> and <end time>", for example, "what events can I do between 7pm and 8:30pm". Be sure to use "am" or "pm" with both times.
To hear events from the care recipient's personal calendar, say "what's on my calendar".
To enter health readings, say "enter my weight" or "enter my pulse", which will prompt you for your weight in pounds or pulse in beats per minute, respectively. To enter a reading directly without the prompt, you can say "enter 150 pounds as my weight".
To initiate a video chat with a person from the care receiver's contact list on Independa, say "start a video chat with <contact name>". Alternatively, you can say "start a video chat" to go to the list of contacts on the TV, and use "left/right/select" to select a contact from the list and initiate a call.
