Amazon Alexa
Controlling your home with Amazon Alexa.
INFO
As an alternative to the skill, you can also connect nomos to Alexa via Matter, without a cloud account.
Requirements
- a nomos cloud account, linked to your Controller
- the Alexa app on your smartphone
Enabling the skill
- Open the Alexa app and search for nomos system under Skills.
- Tap Enable to Use. The nomos sign-in page opens.
- Sign in with your nomos cloud account and allow access.
- Alexa now searches for devices. All devices of your linked Controllers appear in the Alexa app.
After that you can say, for example: "Alexa, turn on the light in the kitchen" or "Alexa, turn on scene Night".
What Alexa can do
| Device | With Alexa |
|---|---|
| Light | on/off, brightness, color, color temperature |
| Switch, fan | on/off |
| Shading with position | open, close, position |
| Heating | target temperature, operating mode, current temperature |
| Lock | lock, unlock |
| Speaker, TV | volume, playback, input |
| Sensors | temperature, motion, window/door |
| Scenes | run |
Alexa does not take over any rooms. Create groups in the Alexa app so that you can say "light in the living room".
New or renamed devices
nomos reports new, renamed or deleted devices and scenes to Alexa by itself. If a device is missing, say "Alexa, discover devices"; the Controller must be connected to the cloud at that moment.
Disabling the skill
In the Alexa app under Skills → nomos system → Disable Skill. nomos then also removes the link on its side.
