For the life of me, I can not figure out how to control my thermostats via echo and ADC. Whether it be with home skills or “ask ADC”
Can you help me? Can you list all the thermostat commands for echo ?
via the smart skills, say raise or lower the temperature ; it will go up or down with 2 degrees…
There is no list, exactly. Regular updates allow Alexa commands to be more fluid and there are numerous ways to ask.
Try:
Alexa, ask Alarm.com to make it warmer.
Alexa, ask Alarm.com to raise the temperature. (Increases the target temp by 2 degrees F or 1 degree C.)
Alexa, ask Alarm.com what the thermostat temperature is.
Alexa, ask Alarm.com to set the heat to 72.
Remember you can login to the Alexa app and check to see the recent commands and what Alexa heard. It may not be hearing the correct instruction.
How do you turn the thermostat on and off, to heat or to cool?
Try “Ask Alarm.com to turn off the thermostat” or “Ask Alarm.com to turn on the AC” or “Ask Alarm.com to turn on the heat”
You can set the temp in the same action. “Ask Alarm.com to set the heat to 65”
not working. I think what is confusing it is I have 2 thermostat with different names. Hall themostat and Frant thermostat
Try “Alexa, Ask Alarm.com to set the Hall Thermostat to cool” or “Ask Alarm.com to turn up the Front Thermostat”
this worked.
I am assuming at this point that thermostats are not supported in Home Skills
As a Smart Home Skill? I believe that is still a work in progress, yes. Giving certain thermostat instructions without specifying Alarm.com actually results in “Sorry, [name of thermostat] doesn’t support that”
