How can I connect Amazon Alexa with my Kobold vacuum cleaner robot?
To operate the vacuum robot with Amazon Alexa via speech recognition, you need the following:
- Kobold VR200 vacuum cleaner robot (with software version 2.0 or newer) or the Kobold VR300
- Kobold Robot App and an e-mail address
- Amazon account
- Alexa App
- An Alexa-enabled device, for example Amazon Echo
- Wi-Fi Connection.
And that's how it works:
Once you've purchased an Alexa-enabled device, download the Amazon Alexa App from the AppStore or Google Play Store to your smartphone or tablet.
The next step is to have your Amazon account handy; if you don't have an Amazon account yet, you'll need to create one. Then connect your Alexa-enabled device to your wireless home by following the instructions in the app.
After installing the app, connect your Kobold vacuum cleaner robot to your Kobold Robot App. If you have not yet installed it on your smartphone or tablet, you can also download the app from the App Store or Google Play Store.
After you have found the Kobold Robot Skill in the Alexa App, please activate it in the App. Then link your Kobold Robot account to your Amazon account by following the instructions in the Alexa app. The Vorwerk Kobold website opens automatically during the process. Please follow the instructions carefully until the connection of both devices is complete and successful.
Now you can use the Kobold Robot skill, say "Alexa, tell the Kobold Robot to start". Then just listen to Alexa, she will tell you more possible commands with which you can control your Kobold robot.
