To control the device with voice commands you have to either use its default name "evaSMART" or set the one you want yourself.
How to set the name of the device
To set the name of the device just tap it's default name with the pencil icon 
next to it on the device screen in EvaApp and choose the name you like the most from the list of names available. Find details on that in the "Controlling your evaSMART with the EvaApp" article.
Please note that each time after renaming the device you'll have to make Alexa discover it again either in the app or with the voice command "Alexa, discover devices".
Setting a name is a must to manage the device via voice commands! That will also allow you to differ one device from another.
We've developed two Alexa Skills for you to use when controlling your device. Every Skill includes a set of voice commands: Basic and Advanced. Skills are called correspondingly: Evapolar Smart-Home and Evapolar Smart-Home Advanced. For better conveniency we recommend using both Skills. To do that you would have to link Evapolar mobile app to Amazon Alexa and enable the Skills first, please follow the instructions in this article to do that.
The differences between these Skills are:
- After enabling it you can control your evaSMART right away with the voice commands.
- These commands do require a certain invocation schema, it should be: "Alexa, ask evaSMART to <to this and that to> [deviceName]".
The Evapolar Smart-Home Skill:
- This Skill's commands are simple (do not require any kind of invocation schema) and the list of them is quite short, just the basic features.
- However, the usage of this Skill is a bit different at the beginning. After enabling you won't be able to control your evaSMART with it right away. Alexa will ask you to discover new devices first. You can either do that on the spot or later on.
Evapolar Smart-Home Skill voice commands:
These commands do not require a certain invocation schema, you can just say "Alexa, [command]" and Alexa will reply with "Ok".
