• You should see the "neo Matrix" skill installed, if not, you can add it via the "Get More Smart Home Skills" link and searching for it.
• Click "Discover Devices", discovery takes 20 seconds. Alternatively say "Alexa, discover devices" when you are in audible range of your Alexa device
• After discovery, you will find a list of {input} on {output} names, each routing combination can be edited by changing the names in the neo web interface
• If you hide a routing combination from within neo, the routing combination will still appear in this list, you must "Forget" the scene within Alexa to prevent it from being accessed
• Setup is complete. You can perform a routing change by saying, "Alexa, turn on Sky Q on lounge" (for example)
