To implement the skill, as opposed to the API, you need to have at at least HS3 version 243.
You also need to have your myHS account set up (a single user is free)
Once this is done, go to the list of skills in your Alexa app.
You'll find the HomeSeer skill there.
Enabling this skill brings up a login that will link the echo to your system through myHS.
Use the username and password you use to gain access to your system through myHS.
You can ask for help through the echo by saying "Ask HomeSeer for help', which will give you the HomeSeer echo url http://www.homeseer.com/echoWade

Originally posted by Rotech View PostWade, I have all those steps done. How do I know when I am using the skill and I am using the api? What's the difference? I also read some where that you can change the name of echo other than Alexa and Amazon is this true?
Alexa tell homeseer to turn on my bedroom light = skill
API - on/off/dim and set thermostat
Skill - run events, get statuses, on/off/dim, control and report on most devices.
Alexa/Amazon/Echo are current awake words for the echo - choose one. You can not use an arbitrary word at this time. For my kitchen unit I call echo and my living I call Alexa.
