The shear amount of consideration this man has shown his viewers by spelling and not accidentally triggering their Alexas AND the baffling stupidity of the comments that don't understand why is amazing.

I work at Amazon there used to be an incident that they put an Alexa ads during Super Bowl which calling out Alexa name, the service almost down due to the sudden volume spike generated from millions of Alexa device in people’s home.

Thanks for the video! It was very helpful.

In terms of the temperature sensors the echo 4th gen has a temperature sensor built in so if you had one or more of those that can act as your temperature sensor. I currently use it with a routine to control my nest thermostat.

He won’t say “Alexa” so your Alexa divices aren’t triggered while watching the video.

I work at a daycare and we had a student named Alexa. Need I say more… lmao

You did a good job!

Is there a "Set" button so you are not constantly cycling through the heat and cool while trying to find the correct screen. Thanks

It took me a few listens before "Ahe-lee-ex-aa" made sense! 😂

I purchased Amazon smart thermostat then installed it during the winter worked great then came the heat a few days ago and now my AC doesn't turn on . I checked all the wires looks good but then went on line and found a lot of folks had the same problem had to replace it with something else . I guess I got skunked. .

Can I turn it on and off if am not home like if am 30 minutes away and want to turn on to cool house down

I don't think I'd ever ask a visitor to adjust my thermostat

Especially when you can change the thing from your phone🙄😂😂

I like the sleek simple look of mine. It's not hard to control directly either.

It’s super simple to use

Can you lock Thermostat (device) so that no one can adjust or turn on/off device w/out code?

Sorry but what is the point to buy this one ? what does it different than normal regular Ac thermostat screen ? Only schedule ? Doesn't regular Ac keep in a current temperature already in your house ? Sorry just asking to learn.

Where can we find that wall plate you have in the video? Unable to find it anywhere on Google or Amazon. (Not expecting a response, because no one else has received one, so if anybody knows please advise!

Hey. So I recently bought my own Amazon thermostat. Around June 2022. My unit DID come with that wall plate. I needed it bad since taking out my old thermostat left the area very ugly.

Mine came with the plate.

I bought one didn’t cost a nickel because of the rebate with the electric company. I have a 2 wire oil burner and it works fine. I just had to connect an $8.24 V AC doorbell transformer to the C terminal and the RC terminal for power that way I didn’t have to spend a lot of money for the ridiculous price that Amazon and all the others charge for the stupid transformer. As far as the crappy adjustments on the thermostat, I don’t give a hoot 🦉the main reason I bought it was so I didn’t have to look at the stupid thing. I adjust everything from either my Apple laptop, iPad ,iPhone, CarPlay,TV or my watch so who the hell needs to look at the box on the wall. I have it 3 months works great.👨‍🔧📲💻⌚️📺🚘😊

does it only work when the phone is using the same wifi ? Or I can still control it when I'm in another state while traveling? I got tenants living downstairs so I may need to turn it on or off it depends

You can control it from anywhere.

Oh the one shall not be named....

the screen doesn’t matter so much b/c you would just use your echo devices to control the thermostat

Hard to see the thermostat in the video with the white background.

Does it work with Ring?

@ericu808

Жыл бұрын

Yes it does. Got my unit back in June. Been pretty happy. Example if I set my ring alarm to AWAY the thermostat set the setpoint to something that uses way less resources (you actually pick what temp you want in the app. So you can make it hit a setpoint of 80 in the summer if you wanted. Just as an example) that way you save money.

Apparently alexa is voldemort and you can't say her name

Omg I thought the same thing 😂😂

So if I'm 100 miles away from my home, I can change the temp remotely with this? Or does it only work wifi in the house where the thermostat is installed? Tks.

WHY IS HE SPELLING ALEXA?

@lruss2004

Жыл бұрын

I was thinking the same thing at first but then figured it out after a few seconds. If he SAYS "Alexa" his Alexa that he has in the house will keep responding. So he's spelling "A-l-e-x-a" so that it doesn't activate Alexa. :)

Saying a l e x a in 2022 is wild. It’s not even all caps bro wtf????

"a-l-e-x-a app"? Why are you averse to saying Alexa?

@@TheRevenantBalor he’s doing it either because he has an Alexa close or out of respect for watchers so their devices don’t go off or both.
