I am very interested in the Amazon Alexa skill I do have the new versions of the apex head unitHey everyone. I've been working on an Alexa skill that allows you to use voice commands to control outlets on your APEX controller. I think the app is ready for some real world testing, so I'll need some daring participants to test it out.
Here are a few live demos from my last build:

For anyone that's interested in testing this skill, I only ask that you report back any bugs, comments, or concerns that you have with the app. I will have to add testers on a per-person basis, and all that's required is an active email address.
Let me know if you're interested!

Hey, welcome to Reef2Reef!
It's under development and beta evaluation right now. Each tester's experience is somewhat different, but I'm having a lot of success with requesting tank status reports and commanding specific outputs as well as activating feed cycles, changing lighting spectra, and so on. It's also possible to switch voice control from one Apex to another. It won't replace having a dashboard in front of you but it sure is handy when your hands are occupied.
Just stumbled across this. I guess it’s still in testing?
Does it recognize Scottish accents? Because half the time, she opens my garage door if I ask her to dim the lights...
I like the voice feedback of parameters. Would be cool for her to auto report when you walk into the fishroom.
Do you intend for her to report all parameters? Is there any way to change the command string?
“Alexa- diagnostic report.”
Cheers- appreciate your work on this
Alexa....Makes Joe's tank temperature 99 degrees fahrenheit

So the answer to that question is more "I'm not sure" than anything. We have enabled our skill for the UK Alexa marketplace as well as US, AU, and NZ. Now that doesn't mean that Alexa's recognition of Scottish accents is very good... I've seen plenty of videos and articles about Alexa falling flat on her face when presented with a Scottish accent.
As far as the Apex Fusion skill is concerned, it will work fine throughout the UK. The quality of voice recognition, on the other hand, is completely out of our control and will rely on Amazon making some stark improvements in recognition for Scottish accents.
Lol, I’m a Scot relocated to US. But yeah- bunch of funny videos with Alexa Scottish dialect fails.
Is it possible to change the command string, to something cool like ‘status report’?
