These new capabilities are made possible through Amazon's Smart Home Skill API. Amazon explained further telling CNET that, "we're making it easier for device manufacturers to build for Alexa by providing a common framework". Indeed the new API software is an improvement. Up until now companies had to create custom skills for Alexa to command their appliances. >Additionally Amazon has invested in June Life makers of the unique June Oven. Available in both countertop and wall models, the June uses a built-in camera to recognize food items. It then attempts to cook them properly with minimum help from you.
