We have a handful of customers who use alexa for really simple automation. I.e. voice control of some lights or shades... We find it best to setup a "routine" in alexa to handle it. We generally set it up for them as our customers tend to be totally confused by technology.

Of course that requires us to have access to the customer's Amazon account. Kind of a pia. Plus I feel odd having that access.

For many, the Alexa could live on a different Amazon account (assuming the customer does not use it for ordering stuff... most don't) But that makes things kind of complicated.

Anyone know of a way to setup separate access to an Amazon/Alexa account that can be used "somewhat" exclusively for Alexa... ideally just configuration, but something close to it.

Any other ideas? I figured I'd ask for ideas before jumping down the rabbit hole.

Thanks in advance.
