Thermostats We control our Nest thermostat via the iPhone or Alexa. I’m not able to actually turn on heat or cool. For example, if it is set to heat, which it usually is in the winter, just say Alexa, set the thermostat to 72 and the heat comes on. From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf

I think some of these smart thermostats are overpriced and are trying to be too smart. This is why I like the Honeywell Lyric T5, it’s reasonable, it offers a schedule of course but it doesn’t pretend to do anything else like “learn”. Granted, Honeywell has the “Round” thermostat which I think

Without knowing the country I would say to take a look at the Honeywell Lyric line of WiFi smart thermostats. Here in North America the T5 is quite reasonable in price and it works well and has a very accessible app, it is both Apple Home Kit and Alexa capable so you can use either SIRI
