To turn on Blumoo Voice, just go to settings in the Blumoo iOS app and ENABLE advanced features. From there the Blumoo app will walk you through setup for using Alexa.
After you register your Echo we will have you test out the TV guide skill. NOTE: If it says you are not registered then that is because you have not selected a TV guide provider, go back to settings and select a TV guide provider and then register again. Also, make sure your devices are on and set to the correct inputs for this to work.
Here are some different ways you can request the TV guide to perform your request:
Change to any channel in the TV guide. This makes watching TV a hands-free experience. You have to use digits when specifying a channel to go to – this is because there is a variable for digits built-in to Alexa that makes it very reliable. Examples of ways to ask Blumoo:
“Alexa, tell Blumoo to WATCH ________ (ex. six hundred)”
“Alexa, tell Blumoo to WATCH channel ________ (ex. six hundred)”
“Alexa, tell Blumoo to GO TO ________ (ex. fifty)”
“Alexa, tell Blumoo to GO TO channel ________ (ex. fifty)”
“Alexa, tell Blumoo to CHANGE to ________ (ex. thirty)”
“Alexa, ask Blumoo to CHANGE to channel ________ (ex. thirty)”
Ask Blumoo to describe the show airing on a specific channel. She will then ask you if you would like to watch it allowing you to respond YES or NO. Examples of ways to ask Blumoo:
“Alexa, tell Blumoo to DESCRIBE ________ (ex. six hundred)”
“Alexa, tell Blumoo to DESCRIBE channel ________ (ex. six hundred)”
“Alexa, ask Blumoo WHAT the movie on channel ________ (ex. fifty) is”
“Alexa, ask Blumoo WHAT the show on channel ________ (ex. fifty) is”
“Alexa, ask Blumoo WHAT’S showing on channel ________ (ex. fifty)”
After you say that "They worked" you will move on to setting up your Voice Commands Remote. This is where you pick phrases and assign them to buttons for use with voice control.
Make any button a voice command. You simply select a voice “phrase” in our app and then the button it should trigger. There are multiple ways to initiate a voice command when speaking to your Echo. This allows you to select a phrase that feels more natural to say. Here are examples:
“Alexa, ask Blumoo to PUSH _________”
“Alexa, ask Blumoo to PRESS _________”
“Alexa, ask Blumoo to TAP _________”
“Alexa, ask Blumoo to HIT _________”
“Alexa, ask Blumoo to TURN _________”
“Alexa, ask Blumoo to TURN ON _________”
“Alexa, ask Blumoo to TURN OFF _________”
“Alexa, ask Blumoo to PLAY _________”
“Alexa, ask Blumoo to WATCH _________”
“Alexa, ask Blumoo to LISTEN _________”
“Alexa, ask Blumoo to TRIGGER _________”
