Voice Commands
Setting your thermostat to a specific temperature:
Alexa, set my (thermostat name) to (75) degrees
Alexa, set (thermostat name) temperature to (75)
Alexa, set (thermostat name) to (75)
Alexa, set my (thermostat name) to (75)
You can also use phrases like:
Alexa, raise temperature to...
Alexa, change temperature to...
Alexa, turn temperature to...
and Alexa will ask you which thermostat to change. Simply respond with the thermostat's name.
Changing the temperature of your thermostats:
Alexa, (raise or lower) the (thermostat name) by (3) degrees
Alexa, (raise or lower) the (thermostat name) temperature by (7) degrees
Alexa, decrease the (thermostat name) temperature by (4) degrees
Alexa, increase the (thermostat name) temperature by (6) degrees
Alexa can also raise or lower the temperature without a specific degree amount. When using these commands, the temperature will change by 2 degrees:
Alexa, heat my (thermostat name)
Alexa, increase the (thermostat name) temperature
Alexa, heat up (thermostat name)
Alexa, lower the (thermostat name) temperature
Alexa, cool down (thermostat name)
Alexa, make (thermostat name) colder
TIP! Alexa will ask you which thermostat to change if you don't include the name in the initial command. Simply respond with the thermostat's name.
Notices
Currently, the Alexa system does not allow for changing a thermostat's mode.
It is recommended to operate the thermostat in COOL or HEAT mode.
The thermostat must first be named before use with the Alexa system. This is most easily done via Skyport. Thermostat names such as "Bedroom" or "Office" that use common words are recommended over names such as "Conf Room" or "Bill
& Linda".
