Quick Start Tips - Amazon Alexa.pdf (665 KB)
When asking Alexa
Make sure you speak at a normal pace. Do not slow down with large pauses between words as Alexa can interpret this as the end of a request.
- Turning On Heat Pump When you ask Alexa to turn on your heat pump, it will switch on to the last setting it was set to.
- Setting Temperature of Heat Pump When you ask Alexa to set the temperature of your heat pump, the following logic applies.
If the heat pump is currently off
Your request will turn on the heat pump, set the temperature and adjust the mode to either heating or cooling according to your set temperature compared to the room temperature.
For example, if you ask Alexa to set the temperature to 24 degrees, and the actual room temperature is 21 degrees, the heat pump will adjust automatically to Heating Mode.If the heat pump is currently on
Your request will only adjust the temperature. - Understanding Alexa's Reply - Mode When you ask Alexa to set the temperature of your heat pump or ask what the heat pump is set to, Alexa will reply using the words 'AC' for cooling, 'Heat' for heating or 'Auto'.
If you are in Cooling Mode
Alexa will reply 'The AC is set to 21'If you are in Heating Mode
Alexa will reply 'The heat is set to 21'If you are in Auto Mode
Alexa will reply 'Auto is set to 21' - Understanding Alexa's Reply - Room Temperature vs Set Temperature Alexa can tell you what the actual room temperature is, or what the heat pump's set temperature is (what you are trying to heat or cool to). The following logic applies to a heat pump named 'lounge':
Room Temperature
Ask, 'Alexa, what is the lounge temperature?', Alexa will reply 'The lounge temperature is 24 degrees'Heat Pump Set Temperature
Ask, 'Alexa, what is the lounge set to?', Alexa will reply 'The heat is set to 21' or 'The AC is set to 21' - Asking for Multiple Requests Alexa does not support asking multiple requests in one question. I.e. if you want to set the heat to 21 degrees, you will need to ask, 'Alexa, set lounge to 21 degrees', and then 'Alexa, set lounge to heat'.
Naming Your Heat Pump in the Wi-Fi Control App
- Your heat pump will have a name that you originally chose when you set up the Wi-Fi Control App. This name can be found at the top of the Wi-Fi Control App [Control unit] screen if you have one unit, or under [View all units] screen if you have multiple units connected.
- If you have not renamed your heat pump unit in the Wi-Fi Control App, the default name to use is 'Thermostat'. ('Alexa, turn on Thermostat')
- If this is the first time downloading and setting up the Wi-Fi Control App you will name your heat pump in the [Edit this unit] screen.
Renaming Your Alexa Discovered Heat Pump
- If you wish to rename your heat pump please do so in the Wi-Fi Control App.
- Next ask Alexa 'Alexa, discover new devices' or use the Alexa app and select [Add Device] in the Smart Home section.
- This will update any changes to device names and/or find new devices.
Important: never rename the heat pump in the Alexa App, as this will cause the two apps naming to be out of sync.
Controlling a Group of Smart Home Devices
- When naming your heat pump you may want to consider if you intend to control a group of smart devices or the heat pump unit only.
- i.e. if you want to control all smart devices in a room such as your TV, heat pump and lights with one request to turn on or off, you will need to ensure you create a group in the Alexa App under [Smart Home, Groups] with these devices in it. Then you can simply say 'Alexa, turn on lounge'.
- Please ensure each smart device has its own unique name for individual control, as a group and device name cannot be the same.
- For example in a room with a group named 'Lounge' your heat pump should be named more uniquely as 'Lounge Heat Pump', 'Lounge AC' or 'Lounge Heater', so Alexa can recognise when you wish to control the heat pump only.
- Alexa looks at a smart group before it looks at a smart device, so if it shares a like name it will ask which one. ie group called 'My Office', Device called 'Office Heat Pump'. Ask 'Alexa, what temperature is the office' and Alexa will ask you which one.
Important: if you add a heat pump to a group and then remove that heat pump from the Wi-Fi Control App, after resyncing Alexa you will still need to manually remove the heat pump from your group. (Alexa's resync will not remove the remove heat pump from a group).
How to Resync if You Have Added a New Heat Pump Unit in Your Wi-Fi Control App
- Just ask Alexa 'Alexa, discover new devices' or use the Alexa app and select [Add Device] in Smart Home section.
- This will update any changed device names and/or find new devices.
Delete a Heat Pump Unit in Your Wi-Fi Control App
If you delete a heat pump unit from your Wi-Fi Control App you will need to manually remove this from your Alexa Smart Home Devices.
