Link Alexa with openHAB

Open the Alexa app, go to 'Skills & Games' and search for 'openHAB'. Enable the skill and log in with your openHAB account to link the two.

Discover Devices

In the Alexa app, go to 'Devices' and click on 'Discover'. Alexa will automatically find and list all the devices connected to your openHAB.

Create Automation Rules

In openHAB, go to 'Rules' and start creating your automation rules. For example, you could create a rule that turns off all lights when you say 'Goodnight' to Alexa.

Test Your Setup

Finally, test your setup by giving voice commands to Alexa. If everything is set up correctly, your devices should respond according to your automation rules.
