Alexa? Do as I say.

I have networked a relatively large number of household appliances in my flat. Many of them can be controlled by voice via Alexa. I have summarised the most important commands here.

  • Alexa? Open the front door. (Opens door on ground floor and gate in entrance area)
  • Alexa? Open the flat door.
  • Alexa? Light in the living room 30%.
  • Alexa? Switch on the light in the dining room.
  • Alexa, switch off the light in the kitchen.
  • Alexa? Light in the hallway 10%.
  • Alexa? Light in the bedroom 100%.
  • Alexa? Light outside 40%. (Lighting on the balcony and on the house façade)
  • Alexa? Switch on Smart Plug. (Lighting in the living room shelf)
  • Alexa? Light in the living room pink.
  • Alexa? Warm white light in the living room.
  • Alexa? Start cleaning with Deebott. (Start vacuuming and mopping robot)
  • Alexa? Laundry timer one and a half hours.
  • Alexa? Stop timer.

The heating regulates itself independently. The room temperature is fixed for each room and is always kept constant.

If you open a window or a door, the radiators switch off automatically. If you close windows and doors, the heating switches on again. Likewise, after 30 minutes, the radiators switch on again in any case (e.g. if you forget to close a window again).
