How to enable Nanit with Amazon Alexa

Nanit Show is a new, free smart home Alexa skill that allows Nanit Pro Camera users to easily check in and see their baby from anywhere in their home. The Nanit Pro camera now works seamlessly with the Amazon Echo Show and Echo Spot, allowing users to see Nanit’s HD video stream and audio from anywhere in their house by simply saying “Alexa, show me ’s crib?” or “Alexa, show me ?” Parents and caregivers can now leverage Amazon’s Alexa voice control capabilities to quickly see and hear their baby without stopping what they are doing or disrupting the baby’s sleeping environment.

You can find the free Nanit Show skill for Alexa on the Alexa Skills store on Amazon. Nanit users must enable the skill via Alexa for the voice recognition features to be added. In addition to using the new skill on the Echo Show and Echo Spot, Nanit customers can also monitor their baby via the Nanit app through other devices including their Android or Apple iOS smartphone, as well as via iPad.

If you are a new parent looking for a powerful baby monitor with seamless Alexa voice integration, look no further than Nanit.
