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
