Flume now works with Amazon Alexa! For example, you can ask Alexa if water is running, or you can ask her how much water you have used today.
In order to enable this integration, please click here to install the Flume skill. It takes less than 30 seconds to install. Just follow the prompts, and enter your Flume username and password when prompted.
Alexa utilizes "response only" skills meaning Alexa will be unable to notify you of a leak or other notifications. However, once you install the Flume skill for Alexa, you can ask Alexa about your water status, water use and water budgets. Below are some things that you can ask Alexa. In each of the examples, you can replace the words in the {curly braces} with your own.
