Attention all users!
We're happy to announce that SermonAudio officially has support for the Amazon Echo family of devices, including, the Amazon Echo, Echo Dot, Echo Show, Echo Spot, Echo Plus, and more. It is available immediately.
The Echo is an inexpensive, voice-controlled smart speaker developed by Amazon. The device consists of a speaker with a microphone array and is capable of connecting to Internet services via WIFI. It can be purchased for as little as $20, and it is controlled with simple voice commands.
For those Echo devices that sport a screen, the currently playing sermon title and speaker photo will appear. It's an attractive way to enjoy listening to your favorite sermons or live webcasts!
Here's how it works.
Once you add our SermonAudio Skill to your Echo device, you can perform a variety of functions simply with voice commands.
Voice commands supported by the SermonAudio Skill:
"Alexa, Open SermonAudio!" ... begins playing the 24/7 radio stream
"Alexa, ask SermonAudio to ...
... play the featured sermon."
... play the newest staff pick."
... what's My Church?"
... set My Church to 12345 [Code ID]."
... play the webcast from My Church."
... play the newest sermon from My Church."
... play the webcast from 12345 [Code ID].""Alexa, stop."
How to setup My Church using a name or code.
Setting My Church can be set by the actual church name, the minister's name, the city name, or any combination thereof. However, the most reliable way to set My Church is to use the 5-digit CHURCH CODE ID that's assigned to every broadcaster (found on the church's homepage). Here are some examples:
"Alexa, ask SermonAudio to ...
... set My Church to Hampton Park Baptist Church."
... set My Church to Hampton Park, Greenville."
... set My Church to Drew Conley."
... set My Church to HPBC."
... set My Church to CODE ID 03966."
... set My Church to CODE # 03966.""Alexa, stop."
The webcasts from every broadcaster on SermonAudio are immediately accessible using this exciting new technology for free! It's an innovative new platform that can be utilized to transmit great preaching and teaching.
Enjoy!
