Please read and translate the instruction on http://www.iobroker.net/docu/?page_id=5090&lang=en

3. the "cloud" adapter must be installed

Wie läuft es dann ab?

Vorhandener iobroker skill tauscht man gegen iobroker-english skill? Und Alexa muss man umstellen auf Englisch?

Was wird da anders sein? Ich habe mitbekommen, dass Alexa auf Englisch die Farben erkennt. Sonst noch Unterschiede?

Kann ich das auch mit meiner deutschen alexa testen dann wäre ich dabei

Genauso läuft das.

Man darf nach Temperatur fragen:

• Alexa, what is the temperature of "outdoor"

• Alexa, what is the "living room" set to

Ein Schloss schließen (nicht aufmachen!):

• “Alexa, is lock name locked/unlocked?”

• “Alexa, lock the lock name”

Und Farben steuern:

• “Alexa, set the "device name" to color”
