Test drive

To test what we are going to build, press the microphone icon in the reverb app and say, Alexa, ask smarty app for the weather report and you should hear the latest data that is persisted in the database for the smart weather station. And then you can say, Alexa, ask smarty app to turn on the motor, or Alexa, ask smarty app to turn off the motor; if my device is online, it will turn it off.

Along with smart weather station, we are going to build a smart socket, which can be connected to a motor in a farm. And using Alexa, we are going to turn on/off the motor.

Now, if you have an Amazon echo or echo dot, you can test the skill we are going to build. Or, you can do the same using the reverb app. You can also use https://reverb.ai/ ...
