Step 3: Generate a Barcode for Product Registration

Note: Sign in to the developer console to build or publish your skill.

Alexa Connect Kit (ACK) supports Amazon Wi-Fi Simple Setup (WSS) so your users can quickly register their devices with Amazon and Alexa services. In this step, you generate a barcode for your ACK module that users scan to register their device with WSS.

Prerequisites

Meet the following prerequisites, before you complete the instructions on this page.

An ACK module that's product provisioned.
Th ACK Module Utility Command Line Interface (CLI) . For more details on using the Module Utility, see Module Utility CLI Quick Start.

Generate a barcode

To generate a barcode

Run the Module Utility CLI barcode command.

$ java -jar <path>/ackmoduleutility.jar barcode -p <port> --upc <upc>

A message appears and tells you the location of the barcode files.
Save the barcode file somewhere convenient.

You must use this barcode when you register your module in a later step.

Tip: You can display the image on your computer screen and use the Alexa app on your phone to scan it.
