How to link it

Enable the Bidò skill from its Amazon page (or scan the QR code above). Invocation name: raccolta rifiuti.
In the Bidò app, open Alerts › Alexa › Link to Alexa: you'll see a six-digit code, valid for ten minutes.
Tell Alexa: «apri raccolta rifiuti», then say the code.

If you change days, zone or the name of the place, the copy for Alexa updates by itself. You can link several places on different devices. On collection morning, if the lorry is running late, Alexa still treats "today" as valid for a few hours after the cut-off time.

Your data

Alexa only stores an anonymous identifier and the calendar you chose. You can unlink at any time and the data is deleted. Privacy policy.
