Need support in your daily life? Ask Alexa to assist you

Home Connect Skills enable Alexa to communicate directly with your connected home appliances.

Would you like to turn on the coffee machine and enjoy your favorite coffee? Just say: “Alexa, tell my coffee machine to turn on” and follow it up with: "Alexa, tell my coffee machine I want a large, strong Cappuccino."

Trying to find a quiet moment at home? Alexa can help you out. If you want to reduce the noise level of the running dishwasher program to, say, a minimum for 30 minutes, just say: "Alexa, ask my dishwasher to start silence on demand" and enjoy your peaceful afternoon.

Hands tied? Alexa’s here to help

Connect Alexa to your oven and cooker hood, control it with your voice and call up its status at any time. Have your hands free for pots and pans, and still be able to control your hood to keep the air in your kitchen fresh and clean with just your voice.

And, when you’ve already sat down for dinner, you can say “Alexa, ask My Hood to turn on the ambient light” to set the right atmosphere. You always have everything under control and save any unnecessary trips.

Want to know what is going on in your home?

Alexa will find out for you. Ask: “Alexa, ask my washer for the status” and she’ll let you know how long the washing machine in the basement has been running for. Need to know when it will finish? “Alexa, ask my washer when the laundry will be done.”

Just a few words and you are all caught up.
