[Electronics-Talk] New Smart Microwave Can Be Operated By Alexa Voice Commands

[Mike]

I just cooked a tv dinner without touching the keypad of the GE smart microwave.
I deleted the kitchen GE appliance app from my iPhone & reinstalled it. Then I signed in again with that app. Then a button to scan showed up. I scanned the tv dinner & the app gave me cooking instructions on my phone. I had to hit send, I heard my microwave beep. But did not start. I told Ecko to cook for 4 minutes! After the microwave stopped I got a notification on my phone to let stand 1 minute & then cook 3 more minutes. I again had to say Echo cook microwave 3 minutes. I knew right wear this barcode was.
