Native Integration (Firmware Mode):

OpenDevice easily integrates with Alexa by emulating a compatible device: Belkin WeMo

This integration works without the OpenDevice server, using only ESP8266. For more details:

  • Pros: Quick Setup
  • Cons: Less Secure and only works on the local network

OpenDevice SKILL (Cloud Mode):

  • Pros: Secure, control over internet
  • Cons: Need account ( which is not yet released  )

PENDING

--- This method is the most recommended but needs an account on cloud.opendevice.io (which is not yet released)
