WHAT IS AMAZON ALEXA
AND HOW DOES IT WORK WITH PETCUBE
5
1. What is Amazon Alexa
Alexa is a smart voice-enabled personal assistant developed by Amazon. It was first
used in Amazon’s Echo and Echo Dot devices and is now available in a range of many
other smart home gadgets. New generation Petcube devices Petcube Play 2 and
Petcube Bites 2 feature Amazon Alexa built-in while only Alexa skill can be installed on
previous generation cameras such as Petcube Bites, Petcube Play and Petcube Camera
(don’t come with Alexa built-in).
For more information on how to setup the Petcube skill for Alexa, search for ‘Petcube’ in
‘Alexa Skills’ department on Amazon.com
2. How to setup Amazon Alexa
To install Alexa, press Amazon Alexa
button below the Play icon in the center
(fig 5.2.1) and tap ‘Get started’ below
(fig 5.2.2). If you have an Amazon app
on your phone, you will be prompted
to give Petcube access or you’ll be
asked to log in with your Amazon
account (fig 5.2.3) if you don’t have
an Amazon app, then Allow access
to Alexa voice services (fig 5.2.4).
Hit ‘Next’ on the language choice
(currently Alexa on Petcube only
supports English) (fig 5.2.5) and tap
‘Done’ at the last step (fig 5.2.6).
Keep in mind that you might need
to wait a few minutes for Alexa
to start working. If it doesn’t work
within 5 minutes, simply restart
the Petcube app.
