Introducing Cooking Capabilities in the Alexa Smart Home Skill API

Customers have now connected tens of millions of smart home devices to Alexa, including cameras, door locks, lights, entertainment systems, and thermostats. Now Amazon introduces cooking capabilities as part of the Smart Home Skill API. You can build skills to enable customers in the US to control their microwave ovens using Alexa. Support for other cooking devices, such as conventional ovens, is coming soon. Cooking capabilities will also be available in other countries soon.

Whether you build cloud-connected microwaves or other smart home devices that connect to Alexa, you can submit your products for certification via the Works with Amazon Alexa program. The program raises the bar on responsiveness, reliability, and functionality, ensuring your customers have the best smart home experiences. When your products are certified, they can carry the Works with Amazon Alexa badge in the Amazon Smart Home Store and on product packaging. This increases customer confidence that your products integrate seamlessly with Alexa.
