Apply for an Alexa Connect Kit Project
The Alexa Connect Kit (ACK) is a managed service program. To build and launch an ACK-based product, you must first apply and establish a partnership with the ACK team. Dedicated ACK development support is available to companies with an active ACK partnership.
Important: Before your company can start prototyping a Matter device, you must apply to Amazon for an ACK project.
Contact Amazon about your project
To start an ACK project, follow these steps:
- Prepare your project details and email the ACK team at ack-apply@amazon.com. For details about what to include, see Project details.
- If your project aligns with the ACK program, the ACK team engages with your company to complete the necessary agreements.
- After the agreements are in place, Amazon provides your company with access to dedicated ACK development support.
- Start the product prototyping process with guidance from your ACK support engineer.
Project details
If you're a device maker interested in moving forward with a project, include the following information in your email:
- Your name and contact information.
- The name of your company.
- A description of your project.
Include the following information, if you have it:
- A target year and quarter for the launch of your product.
- A target shipment volume, rounded to the nearest 1,000 units.
- Your Amazon vendor ID.
For a vendor ID, you need an Amazon Developer Account. - The ACK solution that you plan to use: ACK Module, ACK SDK, or ACK for Matter.
- If you plan to support Matter, include your Matter Product ID and Matter Vendor ID. To get these IDs, contact the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA).
Amazon can't guarantee a response to every inquiry.
ACK self-service resources
If you have questions about ACK development and certification that aren't answered in the Alexa developer documentation, try one of the following options for help:
