FAQ

How do I launch the GMP skill once it has been added to my smart device?

There are two ways to interact with Alexa once you’ve added the GMP skill to your Amazon smart speaker. Note – you must say Green Mountain Power, not GMP.

  1. Say “Alexa, open Green Mountain Power.” When you launch the skill this way, it stays open and you can just ask Alexa for information related to your account. When you’re done with your questions for Alexa, you can respond by saying “cancel,” ask to open a different Alexa skill, or just not respond to Alexa at all and it will close.
  2. You can open and launch it right into a question. For example: “Alexa, ask Green Mountain Power how much energy I’ve used this month.” Once Alexa answers, it will close.

Can I use the Alexa skill if I don’t have an online GMP account?

Yes! But you will have access to more info from Alexa if you have an online GMP account.

Create your online GMP account.

I have multiple accounts. Can I use Alexa to get info about all of them?

Yes! Just tell Alexa to “switch accounts” and you’ll get the info you need from your other accounts.

Is using the Alexa skill free?

Yes!

Alexa didn’t understand my question – what do I do?

The Green Mountain Power skill may not actually be open. Make sure it is by saying: “Alexa, open Green Mountain Power,” and then ask your question again.
