Alexa

To be able to use the Alexa integration of the LOGIKEDITOR you must fulfill four requirements:

1. You must register your EIBPORT at the BAB TECHNOLOGIE Service

2. You must install the BAB TECHNOLOGIE EIBPORT V3 Skill, so that your Alexa voice commands will be sent to the BAB TECHNOLOGIE Service

3. Your EIBPORT must have at least one valid DNS server entry. In private networks this is often the gateway IP, i.e. the IP address of your router

4. Your EIBPORT must be constantly connected to the Internet so that the commands can be receive

Once those requirements are met, you can provide devices and scenes for Alexa using the Alexa logic elements.

Once you've activated the BAB TECHNOLOGIE EIBPORT V3 Skill, matching voice commands Alexa receives will be sent from the Amazon Cloud to the BAB TECHNOLOGIE Service, which will forward it to your EIBPORT - and vice versa. We dispose the commands once we forwarded them, and keep no records. Amazon on the other hand does so, of course.

Please register your device before you activate the Smart Home Skill. Otherwise the skill activation will fail.

BAB TECHNOLOGIE Service

Register your device at https://cs1.bab-tec.de:8085. You will receive an access token from that page which you must enter at System > Settings > Alexa.

In order to register, you need to have the following information ready:

• The login credentials of the Amazon account which you plan on using to activate the Smart Home skill. This does not have to be same account with which you registered your Alexa device.

• The serial number of your EIBPORT.

• The EIBPORT string, which you can find on the back of the device or on the included Short Manual.

Registration Steps:

1. Open the BAB TECHNOLOGIE Service (https://cs1.bab-tec.de:8085)

2. Log in with the desired Amazon account.

3. You will be prompted to enter your device serial and the EIBPORT string.

4. Click on Submit. If the submitted information is correct, you will be forwarded to a page containing the access token.

5. You can obtain the necessary ‘Access Token’ on the overview page

The Amazon account is used to connect the activated skill with the registered device. We store only your Amazon account ID, which we need to attribute incoming commands.

BAB TECHNOLOGIE Smart Home Skill 

Activate the BAB TECHNOLOGIE EIBPORT V3 Skill using the same Amazon account you used during the service registration.

After its activation, please start a search for new Smart Home devices. Your devices and scenes from Alexa logic elements will be found as long as they are used in currently active logic groups.
