Amazon's Smart Thermostat Information
- Amazon's Smart Thermostat does not have a speaker or microphone. To enjoy voice control, use a compatible Alexa-enabled device, such as Echo (sold separately) or the Alexa app.
- Before purchasing, use the “check compatibility” link to see if the thermostat will work in your home and determine if you need a regular wire power adapter.
- Amazon's Smart Thermostat needs a common cable or power adapter kit. Check compatibility to see if your home already has one. The Alexa app includes step-by-step installation instructions.

| Features of the Alexa app |
|
| Thermostat Hunches |
How does Hunches work? When your phone leaves your home area and no one interacts with Alexa for a while, Alexa senses that no one is home. If no one interacts with Alexa for a while during the night, Alexa senses that everyone is sleeping. When someone interacts with Alexa or uses smart devices, Alexa knows someone is home. Alexa learns your daily interactions and improves over time. You can also help Alexa know when you're going to sleep or leaving the house by saying, “Alexa, good night.” or “Alexa, I'm leaving.” |
