amazon alexa Alexa Voice Monkey

With this DDF, predefined messages can be output to Alexa devices.

This is done via the Voice Monkey service.

Setting up Voice Monkey

• Either activate the Voice Monkey skill directly in the Alexa app under "More → Skills & Games" or start the setup on the PC via Get started — Voice Monkey and begin with "Step 1" there.
• Log in to Voice Monkey and create a speaker. Afterwards, it is mandatory to create the routine for this speaker in the Alexa app, otherwise voice output will not be possible.
• Note down the generated Speaker/Device ID.
• Create an API token under "API Tokens".
  
  

Controller Configuration

Device Station:

• Token: enter the API token generated by Voice Monkey.
• Slaves: enter the Speaker/Device ID of the created Voice Monkey speaker.

Systems:

Create a "Devices" module on the controller.

There, the voice and, if required, additional sounds for the voice output can be configured.

In the IO configuration, inputs or triggers can be defined that will trigger a voice output.

Example:

• 1) Input: Camera detection, see Hikvision DDF
• 1) Output: Output of this DDF with a matching predefined voice output

This way, for example upon motion detection, matching messages can automatically be output via Alexa.

Alternatively, the DOs of this DDF can also be used freely, e.g., in your own logic or in other systems.
