About skill enablement for homes

For an introduction to Alexa skills, see What is the Alexa Skills Kit?.

An Alexa Smart Properties for residential home can be in the vacant, occupied or linked state. When a home is created, it's in the vacant state. When a resident moves in, you change the home's occupancy state from vacant to occupied. When the resident links their personal Amazon account with the home, the home's state changes to linked. See About home occupancy states.

Definitions

Your skill — A skill that you develop and operate as an Alexa Smart Properties for residential developer, for example, a smart home skill.
Home's skill account — A user account in your skill's account system that corresponds to a home unit, for example, Unit 101 Account.
Resident's skill account — A user account in your skill's account system that corresponds to a resident, for example, Jenny Smith's account with username jennysmith@email.com.
Home unit — An object in the Alexa Smart Properties for residential system that corresponds to a home in the home community, for example, unit 101.
Amazon account — A resident's personal Amazon account, for example, Jenny Smith's Amazon account with username jennysmith@example.com.
Linking — Linking your skill with a resident's Amazon customer account or with a (vacant or occupied) home unit.

Skill enablement for homes in the vacant state

For each home unit, you must create a home account and enable and link it with the home unit. This provides isolation for the home account to manage resources (such as smart home devices) that are associated only with that home.

Skill enablement for homes in the occupied state

When a home is in the occupied state, the resident might already have a skill account with your skill's service, but the resident's Amazon account is unknown. Your skill is enabled and linked to the home unit through the home account.

Skill enablement for homes in the linked state

When a resident links their personal Amazon account with the home, your skill is enabled on — and linked to — the resident's Amazon account. The home account's skill enablement and account linking are unchanged.

API endpoint

The endpoint of the Skill Management API is https://api.amazonalexa.com.
