Voice Skills Account Linking UI BizBundle

Last Updated on : 2024-04-08 09:16:11download

Voice Skills Account Linking UI BizBundle provides the custom skills of Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. This allows users to quickly bind voice skills to your app and accelerates the process for you to get WWA certification.

Preparation

  1. The UI BizBundle relies on Smart Life App SDK. Before the following procedure, you must first finish the steps in Preparation, Fast Integration with Smart Life App SDK for Android, and Integrate with Framework.

  2. To enable quick binding of voice skills, contact Tuya’s staff who deal with value-added services to subscribe to Amazon Alexa Skill Account Linking and Google Assistant Action Account Linking.

Integrate with the UI BizBundle

Add the following dependency to the file build.gradle of module:

   
   dependencies {
       api enforcedPlatform("com.thingclips.smart:thingsmart-BizBundlesBom:${biz_bom_version}")
        implementation 'com.thingclips.smart:thingsmart-bizbundle-amazon_google_bind'
        implementation 'com.thingclips.smart:thingsmart-social_auth_manager'
        implementation 'com.thingclips.smart:thingsmart-social_auth_manager_ui'
        implementation 'com.thingclips.smart:thingsmart-aac-clean-kt'
        implementation 'org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-reflect:1.3.72'
        implementation 'com.thingclips.smart:speech-skill-auth-manager:5.9.0'
       api "com.thingclips.smart:thingsmart:${sdk_version}}"
   }
   
   

The Voice Skills Account Linking UI BizBundle uses the content of the H5 mall. Therefore, the UI BizBundle must depend on the Mall UI BizBundle of the same version. For more information about how to configure build.gradle to implement the app mall with H5 pages, see Mall UI BizBundle. In this case, you only need to add the dependencies and do not need to subscribe to the mall value-added service.

Configure app_scheme

  1. Customize app_scheme in the root directory local.properties to identify your app. This value is the App Schema field value specified by you to create the app based on the SDK on the Tuya IoT Development Platform.

    app_scheme=testdemo
    
  2. Set the following parameters required by AndroidManifest.xml in build.gradle of module:

    defaultConfig {
    	...
    		Properties properties = new Properties()
    		properties.load(project.rootProject.file('local.properties').newDataInputStream())
    	manifestPlaceholders = [
    				   INTERNAL_HOST: "${properties.getProperty("app_scheme")}".concat('.app.tuya.com'),
                    ALEXA_AUTH_INTERNAL_HOST: "${properties.getProperty("app_scheme")}".concat('.applink.smart321.com'),
                    ALEXA_AUTH_INTERNAL_HOST_NEW: "${properties.getProperty("app_scheme")}".toLowerCase(Locale.ENGLISH).concat('.applink.smart321.com'),
    
    	]
    }
    

Configure Amazon Alexa

Add the following configurations to the resource file res:

// true means that navigation from the Amazon Alexa authorization page to your app is supported. false means that navigation from the Amazon Alexa authorization page to your app is not supported.
<bool name="is_show_alexa_oem_account"></bool>
// true means that Amazon Alexa is allowed to pull up the app authorization page. false means that Amazon Alexa is not allowed to pull up the app authorization page.
<bool name="is_alexa_to_thingpp_support">Whether Amazon Alexa is allowed to pull up the app authorization page</bool>

Configure Google Assistant

Add the following configurations to the resource file res:

<string name="google_flip_client_id">Replaced with Client-ID provided by Tuya</string>

You must provide the following information to Tuya’s staff who deal with value-added services. Accordingly, Tuya will provide you with the Google Action Client-ID:

  • App package for Android.
  • SHA256 hash value.
  • Custom setting of app_scheme. This value is the App Schema field value specified by you to create the app based on the SDK on the Tuya IoT Development Platform.
