Integration of Amazon Alexa with Secur Hub

Do you have Amazon Alexa and a SecurHub control panel? You won’t need anything else to be able to control your devices with your voice, but you can integrate your Amazon Alexa with your Comelit anti-intrusion system in just a few simple steps, without requiring technical assistance.

Before you start: in order to integrate Amazon Alexa with your anti-intrusion system, you need to have set up the system correctly in the Comelit App.

 CONTENTS:

  2. Discover all the voice commands you can use to control your anti-intrusion system

What do you need?

– A configured and working Alexa device.

– The Comelit App installed on your smartphone, updated to the latest version available on the Play store (Android) or App store (iOS).

– The Amazon Alexa app installed on your smartphone.

What functions can you manage?

– Switch on/off the SecurHub system and activate day and night modes via voice control

– Create routines, scenarios and groups to be controlled via voice control

– If you have any devices that are part of the WiFree home automation family, you can connect them to the SecurHub control panel and control them via Alexa.

– Activate generic actuators and/or outputs (e.g. lights, shutters) with your voice*

– If you have assigned any actuators and/or outputs (such as “staircase lights”) to entry programmes or scenarios in Hub Manager, you can activate them with your voice by saying “Alexa, turn on staircase lights”

 How can you use the function? Follow these simple steps:

1.Pair your SecurHub control panel with your Amazon Alexa account

  2. Name the room or group of devices
