Re: An Alexa Compatible Thermostat, Anyone?

Hi all, a question about the Alexa enabled thermostats. Do they all have a way not to be used with either Alexa or the internet? Or for example, does the amazon one have a Braille overlay like the microwave does? Thanks Lelia Sent from my iPhone > On Dec 26, 2022, at 7:05 PM,

Hello Max, Ah! I see. In such an instance, then I would call Apple and report the device as having been stolen. They will place it on a special list that will prevent the device from being reactivated. Do not remove the device from your account until you speak to Someone at Apple who will

RE: An Alexa Compatible Thermostat, Anyone?

Yes. It works with the Alexa app. No need for the pricy thermostats. This one works great. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of M. Taylor Sent: Monday, December 26, 2022 7:34 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Cc: vipho...@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: An Alexa

Hi Mark, I have a Honeywell thermostat, which I access via Alexa to perform basic functions. Yes, I had to register with Honeywell and/or Total Connect Comfort (TCC), but I don't recall the process being difficult. I've had this thermostat for several years, and only recently discovered it

Don't remove it from the account. If you do whoever has it now will be able to use it, or at least the logic board from it (locked phones are often parted out). On 12/26/22, M. Taylor wrote: > Hello, > > To be honest, I do not know why you would want to remove your wife's phone > from your

Hello, To be honest, I do not know why you would want to remove your wife's phone from your account unless, of course, you want to add it to her account. If you remove her phone from your iCloud account, the phone will still have the 6-digit unlock code on the device, itself. What the

Hello Patti, I have not done any research on the latest model of the Apple TV but I suspect that the difference in the size of the port, located on the bottom of the Siri remote is because it is a USBC port and not a Lightening port. Apple, slowly but surely is switching from Lightening to
