Thanks to the power of Alexa and its open API, you’re able to control a vast number of devices using just your voice. If you have an Eero?Wi-Fi system, you can even control your home network with the Amazon Echo.

得益于Alexa的強大功能及其開放的API，您可以僅使用語音來控制大量設備。 如果您擁有Eero Wi-Fi系統，您甚至可以使用Amazon Echo控制您的家庭網絡。

With a recent update to both the Eero system and the Eero app, the company tacked on Alexa support, so if you have an Amazon Echo, Fire TV, or a newer Fire tablet, you can use Alexa to give a small handful of voice commands to your?Wi-Fi network. Here’s how to enable the new feature.

隨著Eero系統和Eero應用程序的最新更新，該公司增加了對Alexa的支持，因此，如果您有Amazon Echo，Fire TV或更新的Fire平板電腦，則可以使用Alexa發出少量的語音命令連接到您的Wi-Fi網絡。 這是啟用新功能的方法。

Before you can actually start giving voice commands to your Eero system, you’ll first need to install the Eero third-party Alexa skill within the Alexa app.

在實際開始向Eero系統發出語音命令之前，您首先需要在Alexa應用程序中安裝Eero第三方Alexa技能。

We have a guide on how to install Alexa skills, but the jist is that you’ll open up the side menu and select “Skills”. From there, search for “Eero” and enable it. You’ll need to link your Eero account with Alexa, which simply just requires you to enter in your email address associated with Eero and confirm it using a verification code.

我們有一個有關如何安裝Alexa技能的指南，但實際上，您將打開側面菜單并選擇“技能”。 從那里搜索“ Eero”并啟用它。 您需要將您的Eero帳戶與Alexa關聯起來，這僅需要您輸入與Eero關聯的電子郵件地址并使用驗證碼進行確認。

Once the Eero Alexa skill is installed and you’ve linked your Eero account, you’re all ready to go. The?voice commands you can give to Eero are rather limited at the moment, but you can do some pretty cool things. Here are some examples:

一旦安裝了Eero Alexa技能并關聯了Eero帳戶，就可以開始使用了。 目前您可以向Eero發出的語音命令相當有限，但是您可以做一些很酷的事情。 這里有些例子：

• “Alexa, ask Eero to find my phone.”?Alexa will tell you which Eero unit your phone is connected to, which will narrow down the area and hopefully allow you to find your phone quicker if it gets lost in your house or apartment. It helps when you give your devices custom nicknames in the Eero app (“My iPhone” instead of “iPhone-6”).

  “ Alexa，請Eero找到我的電話。” Alexa會告訴您您的手機連接到哪個Eero單元，這將縮小范圍，并希望如果您丟失了房屋或公寓，可以更快地找到您的手機。 當您在Eero應用程序中為設備提供自定義昵稱(“我的iPhone”而不是“ iPhone-6”)時，它會有所幫助。

• “Alexa, tell Eero to pause the internet.”?This will turn off your home’s?Wi-Fi so that devices can’t connect to the internet, which is great to have in order to get your kids to do their chores. You’ll need to set up family profiles within the Eero app in order to enable pausing, however. Furthermore, you can only resume internet access from the Eero app.

  “ Alexa，告訴Eero暫停互聯網。” 這將關閉您家的Wi-Fi，使設備無法連接到互聯網，這對于讓您的孩子做家務非常有用。 但是，您需要在Eero應用程序中設置家庭資料，以啟用暫停功能。 此外，您只能從Eero應用恢復互聯網訪問。

• “Alexa, tell Eero to turn off the LEDs.”?This will turn off the small LED lights on every Eero unit in your house. You can also say “lights” instead, or you can tell Alexa to only turn off the light on a specific Eero unit by saying “Alexa, tell Eero to turn off Living Room light.” Unfortunately, you can’t use Alexa to turn the lights back on—you must do it through the Eero app instead.

  “ Alexa，告訴Eero關閉LED。” 這將關閉房屋中每個Eero單元上的小型LED燈。 您也可以改為說“燈光”，或者可以說“ Alexa，告訴Eero關閉起居室的燈光”來告訴Alexa僅關閉特定Eero設備上的燈。 不幸的是，您不能使用Alexa重新打開燈光，而必須通過Eero應用程序來完成。

Unfortunately, those are the only things you can do with Alexa and Eero, but hopefully the library of voice commands will get a bit larger in the future. We’d love to be able to run Wi-Fi?speed tests and turn on and off the Guest?Wi-Fi using Alexa, but for now, the current voice commands are pretty great.

不幸的是，這些是您只能使用Alexa和Eero進行的操作，但希望語音命令庫將來會變得更大。 我們希望能夠運行Wi-Fi速度測試并使用Alexa打開和關閉Guest Wi-Fi ，但是就目前而言，當前的語音命令非常出色。
