D. Set up with Amazon Echo (Alexa)
(without using Alexa plus built in hub)
Once the Current Products Corp. Bridge has been setup with the MyCurtains
app and all devices have been added, you can connect the system to Amazon
Alexa. Be aware that certain Alexa devices have a built-in Zigbee hub (Echo
Plus). If you would like to use the built-in hub instead of the CPC hub, proceed
to the instructions on page 15. You do not have to use the Alexa-integrated
hub on Echo Plus devices unless you wish.
1. Set up your Echo and CPC Bridge
If your Amazon Echo/Alexa device is not yet set up, do so now by following
the instructions that came with your Amazon Echo device.
Also be sure the bridge and app have been setup. For instructions on how
to set up your bridge and app, see the Bridge Set Up Guide on page 3 in this
manual.
2. Download the Skill
In the Alexa app menu, select “Skills and Games” [Fig. D1]. Once you are on
that page, hit the spyglass icon at the top right hand corner.
Search for the skill title “MyCurtains” or “Current Products” depending on
what trigger phrase you would like to use [Fig. D2]. If you want to be able to
trigger Alexa using both phrases, be sure to download both skills.
