What is voice controlled energy?

Smart home devices often have a hub or controller like Amazon Echo. Having a home control system like this means you can connect all your smart tech and control them all with your voice.

What is Amazon Echo?

Amazon Echo devices(1) are voice-controlled speakers designed entirely around voice – it's always ready, hands-free and fast. 

Alexa is the personal assistant inside an Amazon Echo. There are many Amazon Alexa skills you can get to help you in your smart home. You can ask Alexa to play music, read the news, set alarms, answer questions, check sports scores and even review your energy account. This can all be done from across a room, thanks to Echo's far-field voice control functionality.

How to use Amazon Echo

Once you’ve set up your Household Profiles through a series of simple, guided steps, acquiring Alexa skills will help you get the best from your Amazon Echo. And because Alexa responds to your voice commands, acquiring a new skill is as simple as saying ‘Alexa, enable the EDF Energy skill’.
