Device hardware design
Specific hardware design details are out of scope of this documentation. ACK-based devices can take nearly any shape or form, provided your device is large enough to accommodate the minimum hardware requirements for your ACK solution. ACK modules use Wi-Fi to communicate with the Alexa services. For an optimal experience, you should continuously power your device with AC power source. You should also place your ACK module antenna inside a radio frequency (RF) transparent enclosure.Controlling by voice
When you build ACK-based devices, the voice interaction model is already built for you in each smart home capability interface that you use. This means you don’t have to define the phrases or utterances to control your devices. You can see a list of available utterances on each individual smart home capability interface reference page. For example, when you use theAlexa.BrightnessController interface, the voice interaction model is already built for you. The following examples show some utterances available when using the BrightnessController.
- English (All)
“Alexa, dim the bathroom light."
"Alexa, set the bedroom light to fifty percent.”
"Alexa, set the bedroom light to fifty percent.”
