If you set up a timer on the Amazon Echo and walk out of the room, you may not hear the timer go off. The good news is that you can receive a push notification on your phone when the timer’s up, no matter where you are.
如果您在Amazon Echo上设置了计时器并走出了房间,您可能不会听到计时器关闭的声音。 好消息是,无论您身在何处,只要计时器到了,您都可以在手机上收到推送通知。
Unfortunately, this isn’t a built-in feature on the Echo. You’ll need to use an online service called If This Then That (IFTTT), which you can hook up to your Amazon Echo to do all sorts of cool stuff.
不幸的是,这不是Echo的内置功能。 您将需要使用名为If This Then That(IFTTT)的在线服务,您可以将其连接到Amazon Echo来进行各种有趣的工作。
If you haven’t used IFTTT before, check out our guide to getting started for info on how to create an account and connect apps and services. Then, come back here to create the necessary applet. Start by heading to IFTTT’s home page and click “My Applets” at the top of the page.
如果您以前从未使用过IFTTT, 请查看我们的入门指南,以获取有关如何创建帐户以及连接应用程序和服务的信息。 然后,回到这里创建必要的applet。 首先前往IFTTT的主页 ,然后单击页面顶部的“我的小程序”。
Next, click on “New Applet”.
接下来,单击“新小程序”。
Click on “This” highlighted in blue.
单击以蓝色突出显示的“此”。
Type in “Alexa” in the search box or scroll down and find it in the list of products and services below that. Click on it when you locate it.
在搜索框中输入“ Alexa”,或向下滚动并在其下方的产品和服务列表中找到它。 找到它后,单击它。
Go through the process of connecting Alexa to IFTTT if it isn’t already. After that, you’ll choose a trigger. In this case, you’ll want to click on “Your timer goes off”.
如果还没有,请完成将Alexa连接到IFTTT的过程。 之后,您将选择一个触发器。 在这种情况下,您需要单击“您的计时器关闭”。
Next, click on “That” highlighted in blue.
接下来,单击以蓝色突出显示的“ That”。
Type in “Notifications” in the search box or scroll down and find it in the list of products and services below that. Click on it when you locate it.
在搜索框中输入“通知”,或向下滚动并在其下方的产品和服务列表中找到它。 找到它后,单击它。
On the next screen, click on “Send a notification”. Keep in mind that you’ll need the IFTTT app installed on your phone (available on iOS and Android) with notifications enabled.
在下一个屏幕上,单击“发送通知”。 请记住,您需要在手机上安装IFTTT应用程序(在iOS和Android上可用)并启用通知。
By default, your notification will say “The timer you created at XX:XX, went off at XX:XX”. However, you can customize this to say whatever you want. I like to go with a simple “Your Echo timer went off!”. When you’re done with that, click on “Create Action”.
默认情况下,您的通知将显示为“您在XX:XX创建的计时器,在XX:XX退出”。 但是,您可以自定义此内容以说出所需内容。 我喜欢简单的“您的回声计时器关闭!”。 完成后,单击“创建操作”。
On the next screen, hit “Finish”.
在下一个屏幕上,点击“完成”。
At that point, you’re all good to go, and whenever you start a timer on your Amazon Echo, you’ll receive a push notification on your phone from IFTTT letting you know that the timer reached zero.
那时,一切顺利,每当您在Amazon Echo上启动计时器时,您都会在手机上收到来自IFTTT的推送通知,让您知道计时器已达到零。
There is a five second delay or so from the time your Echo’s timer goes off to when you receive the push notification, so if urgency is critical for you, then you’ll want to keep that in mind. Otherwise, this is a great way to have your Echo’s timer sort of follow you around the house, so you’ll know when time’s up even if you’re not within earshot.
从您的Echo计时器关闭到收到推送通知为止,大约有五秒钟的延迟,因此,如果紧急情况对您很重要,那么您就需要牢记这一点。 否则,这是让Echo的计时器跟随您在屋子周围走动的好方法,因此即使您不在耳边,您也将知道时间到了。
