This document discusses how to control an Intel Edison device through AWS IoT and Alexa voice commands. It provides an overview of the components needed, including the Intel Edison, sensors/actuators, AWS IoT, and Amazon Alexa. It then explains the process to add voice control by setting up the device on AWS IoT, manually testing any actuators, and configuring voice commands through Alexa to control the device.
