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的强大功能及其开放的API，您可以仅使用语音来控制大量设备。 如果您拥有Eero Wi-Fi系统，您甚至可以使用Amazon Echo控制您的家庭网络。

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.

随着Eero系统和Eero应用程序的最新更新，该公司增加了对Alexa的支持，因此，如果您有Amazon Echo，Fire TV或更新的Fire平板电脑，则可以使用Alexa发出少量的语音命令连接到您的Wi-Fi网络。 这是启用新功能的方法。

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.

在实际开始向Eero系统发出语音命令之前，您首先需要在Alexa应用程序中安装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.

我们有一个有关如何安装Alexa技能的指南，但实际上，您将打开侧面菜单并选择“技能”。 从那里搜索“ Eero”并启用它。 您需要将您的Eero帐户与Alexa关联起来，这仅需要您输入与Eero关联的电子邮件地址并使用验证码进行确认。

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:

一旦安装了Eero Alexa技能并关联了Eero帐户，就可以开始使用了。 目前您可以向Eero发出的语音命令相当有限，但是您可以做一些很酷的事情。 这里有些例子：

• “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，请Eero找到我的电话。” Alexa会告诉您您的手机连接到哪个Eero单元，这将缩小范围，并希望如果您丢失了房屋或公寓，可以更快地找到您的手机。 当您在Eero应用程序中为设备提供自定义昵称(“我的iPhone”而不是“ iPhone-6”)时，它会有所帮助。

• “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，告诉Eero暂停互联网。” 这将关闭您家的Wi-Fi，使设备无法连接到互联网，这对于让您的孩子做家务非常有用。 但是，您需要在Eero应用程序中设置家庭资料，以启用暂停功能。 此外，您只能从Eero应用恢复互联网访问。

• “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，告诉Eero关闭LED。” 这将关闭房屋中每个Eero单元上的小型LED灯。 您也可以改为说“灯光”，或者可以说“ Alexa，告诉Eero关闭起居室的灯光”来告诉Alexa仅关闭特定Eero设备上的灯。 不幸的是，您不能使用Alexa重新打开灯光，而必须通过Eero应用程序来完成。

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，这些是您只能使用Alexa和Eero进行的操作，但希望语音命令库将来会变得更大。 我们希望能够运行Wi-Fi速度测试并使用Alexa打开和关闭Guest Wi-Fi ，但是就目前而言，当前的语音命令非常出色。
