D. Set up with Amazon Echo (Alexa)
(without using Alexa plus built in hub)
Once the Current Products Corp. Bridge has been setup with the MyCurtains
app and all devices have been added, you can connect the system to Amazon
Alexa. Be aware that certain Alexa devices have a built-in Zigbee hub (Echo
Plus). If you would like to use the built-in hub instead of the CPC hub, proceed
to the instructions on page 15. You do not have to use the Alexa-integrated
hub on Echo Plus devices unless you wish.
1. Set up your Echo and CPC Bridge
If your Amazon Echo/Alexa device is not yet set up, do so now by following
the instructions that came with your Amazon Echo device.
Also be sure the bridge and app have been setup. For instructions on how
to set up your bridge and app, see the Bridge Set Up Guide on page 3 in this
manual.
2. Download the Skill
In the Alexa app menu, select “Skills and Games” [Fig. D1]. Once you are on
that page, hit the spyglass icon at the top right hand corner.
Search for the skill title “MyCurtains” or “Current Products” depending on
what trigger phrase you would like to use [Fig. D2]. If you want to be able to
trigger Alexa using both phrases, be sure to download both skills.

Say “Alexa, ask MyCurtains to ...”. Use percentages to get your drapery to
Example: “Alexa, close the ‘living loom’ curtain” or “Alexa, open the ‘kitchen’
drapery to 50%”.
You can control devices, groups, or trigger scenes through Alexa, and create
custom names for each in the MyCurtains app.
E. Set up with Amazon Echo (Alexa) plus
(using Alexa plus built in hub)
Echo Plus devices allow users the option to connect compatible Zigbee
devices directly to it instead of using the standard device hub. When using
an Echo Plus as a hub, users will pair the E-Wand directly to the hub inside
of the Alexa Plus. Be aware that if you choose to pair the E-Wands directly
to Alexa, you do not need a CPC hub, and you will not need to download the
MyCurtains app.
1. Set up your Echo Plus
If your Alexa device is not yet set up, do so now by following the instructions
that came with your device.
2. Add Devices
From the menu in the Alexa app, go to “Devices” and hit the “+” in the top
right hand corner of the screen. Hit “Add Device” on the menu that pops up
on the screen. Select “Other” from the menu on the next screen, then hit
“Discover Devices” [Fig. E1-E4].
Figure E5; Press and release
programming button three times.
While Alexa is searching, on each
device you would like to pair, press
and release the programming button
three times without hearing a beep
[Fig. E5]. The E-Wand will start
beeping to indicate it is searching for
a Zigbee network.
All E-Wands added should show up as a “blind”.

account.

3. Customize in App
In the Alexa app, you can change the name of each device to better your
control of the devices. You can also add custom voice commands. We suggest
custom naming each device, and creating commands for “open” and “close”.
We suggest not naming devices with numbers, and instead use location-
based naming conventions. Example: Living Room West.
In addition to controlling individual devices, you can create groups out of
multiple devices (including but not limited to E-Wands) and control them
using the group name you assign. You can also create routines, which you
can create to make certain devices do certain things based on your trigger
command, like “Alexa, good morning”.
