Good food for thought Sieghard. I didn't know there is a Resideo (spelling taken from a recent message from TCC) app. Although it might not work with my thermostat, out of curiosity, perhaps I'll check the Resideo app out. Some time ago, a notification about a name change to Resideo was received, but I didn't need to change/do anything. Perhaps new customers will need to use a different app, but I continue to use the Total Connect Comfort (TCC) app with great success. I still receive messages, alerts, etc. from TCC. The bottom of these messages include reference to Resideo, but there is also reference to Honeywell and TCC. As mentioned in a separate message, I acquired this Honeywell thermostat 7.5 years ago, so it may no longer be available.

Keep in mind there are two apps, the Total Connect Comfort and Residio and at least to my knowledge Residio is where Honeywell is going with the other one being older devices. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of M.

Hello Katrina, Thank you so much for confirming that the Honeywell app, for iOS, is VoiceOver compatible and that the Honeywell devices can be managed by Amazon Alexa. This is great info.

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 could be accessed via Alexa. The process of connecting Alexa to the device was easy as I recall. The thermostat can be accessed via the TCC app, which is very accessible via voiceover. When I first got the thermostat years ago, before I found out about the app, JAWS had trouble accessing all features (e.g. programming the device), so I relied on sighted help. However, JAWS had no problem at all with the website when I tried a year or so ago. Rarely go to the website though as the TCC app is great for programming, etc. And, again Alexa does a great job with the basics like ID of indoor temperature, changing the temperature, etc. HTH Katrina -----Original Message----- From: vipho...@googlegroups.com <vipho...@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of M.

Hello Everyone, Okay, I know that I have asked this question before but, now that I must buy a new thermostat for my home, within the next week or so, as my 32 year old model is starting to fail on a virtually daily basis, what Alexa compatible thermostat do you either recommend and / or are currently using? I am aware of the Nest brand models; I thought they were Google-only models but I think they also can work with Alexa, right? Does anyone have any experience with Nest / Alexa compatibility? Also, I know that Honeywell makes Alexa models but, from what I have read on the web, today, one must setup an online account with Honeywell before the device can be used with Alexa. That sounds like a lot of trouble to me; maybe. The only thing I know for certain is that I want a model that will work with Amazon Alexa, out of the box, because I do not want to use a third-party app, is I can avoid doing so. I have come to trust the Alexa app for iOS and iPad OS. Mark -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "VIPhone, The Next Generation" group.
