Voice assistant guides

Bring! works with all major voice assistants. Set up any (or all) of these so you can add items by voice and see them on your TRMNL.

Alexa Amazon Alexa

Voice commands:

FAQ

Are my Bring! credentials safe?

Yes. Your password is encrypted with AES-256-GCM before storage and only ever sent to Bring!'s own API. It is never logged or shared. On uninstall, credentials are immediately deleted. The source code is open — audit it yourself.

Why do you need my password?

Bring! doesn't offer "Sign in with Bring!" (no OAuth). Direct email + password login is the only way — the same approach Home Assistant and other integrations use.

How fast do changes show up?

Your list is fetched live each time the device refreshes (typically every 5–15 minutes on battery). There is no caching or delay on our side.

Can I use this without a voice assistant?

Absolutely. The plugin reads your Bring! list regardless of how items get there — the Bring! app, a shared family list, or any voice assistant.

I signed up with Google/Apple — can I use this?

Go to Bring! app → Profile → add a password to your account. Your lists stay the same, and you can then use that password here.

Can I switch lists or language later?

Yes. Go to the plugin management page (TRMNL dashboard → plugin settings). Sign in, pick a new list or language, and save. No reinstall needed.

What shows when the list is empty?

A witty rotating phrase in italic — like "Cart's empty. Fridge is judging you." It changes hourly.

Troubleshooting

Plugin shows "Bring! login failed"

Your password may have changed, or you signed up with Google/Apple without setting a password. Go to Bring! app → Profile → add/reset your password.

Plugin shows "Temporary error"

Bring!'s API had a momentary issue. It resolves on its own — your next device refresh will try again.

My items don't show up

Items show in German (Brot, Milch...)

Bring! stores items internally in German. The plugin translates them based on your language setting. Go to the management page and make sure your language is set correctly. Some niche items may not be in the translation catalog.

Change list or language

Plugin management page → sign in → pick a new list or language → Save. Takes effect on the next device refresh.
