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".
