Hi Sieghard, I wasn't thinking of using Siri, I read something that said there is Voice Commands from the app. I suspect I would mostly just use the app with VoiceOver and not bother with the voice. It was more curiosity than anything. It will be installed on August 9th. I will write of my experience after a few days of using it. Thanks, Richard

The only thing I saw regarding voice control was one of the reviews where the reviewer said that “voice control is not well integrated and I wish it could be turned off completely”. I’m very curious to hear your feedback after you have it for a while. I’ve had the WiFi thermostat from www.RadioThermostat.com<http://www.RadioThermostat.com> for probably at least 5 years now and while programming a schedule isn’t the most intuitive for a Voiceover user, the app is accessible, I can change the temperature, turn the thermostat off or on, set it to heat or run the fan only if I want air to circulate in the summer, set it to away mode or set it to schedule or manual where the temperature never changes unless I do it via the app etc. There is even a third party app which allows me to give voice commands, but since I have to open that app, then tap a microphone button before I can tell it to set the temperature to a certain level I don’t find that useful, I might as well open the actual app for the thermostat and tap the increase or decrease button a few times. Maybe in a year or so if and when we might buy an Apple HomePod I’ll probably look for a thermostat which is Home Kit compatible and works with SIRI.

No wifi on that one. We are geting a new thermostat that is a Honeywell programmable and the app looks completely accessible. I'm hoping once it is installed, it proves to be as good as it appears. It doesn't talk, but it may take voice commands through the app. Richard (Sent from the iPod Touch 6) On Jul 30, 2017, at 5:56 AM, Lelia Struve <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Good morning Mike, I don't think there's an app for that thermostat, I am actually going to have mine installed tomorrow. And I listen to the audio cd and they didn't mention anything about iPhones or anything like that. Hope that helps. Go Rockies.
