This repository contains two independent Alexa Custom skills.
Links to the available README files for each custom skill:
- How to initially setup and run the custom skill for development purposes generally. See here.
- Further information about the Room Monitor skill and how to run it. See here.
- Further information about the Predictive maintainance and how to run it. See here.
- Amazon Developer Account
- Microsoft Account (Room monitor)
- Microsoft Application (Room monitor)
The skills are deployed on different servers, Amazon Lambda for Room Monitor and Heroku for the predictive maintainance. The app can be tested either online over the Amazon developer console or on a raspberry pi with Alexa installed or on an actual Alexa.
The room monitor skill can book rooms and check their availability. Rooms are represented as Outlook calendars, so a valid Outlook Account must be present as well an account linking which has to be done by creating a Microsoft Application. Additionally a dashboard is provided to manage the rooms with are registered for the room monitor. Here rooms can be added, removed and events be seen. The Dashboard can be found here. Room monitored is further explained in its own README.
Predictive maintenance is designed to help determine the condition of in-service machines in order to predict when maintenance should be performed. This promises cost savings over usual maintenance, because tasks are performed only when needed. Alexais used as interface to communicate. README.
