Comfort Sync A3 - Google Home and Assistant

21
4. Toggle ON Temperature Units - Use metric measurements for temperature
units.
NOTE: Even though your Allied thermostat supports half degree settings in
Celsius, Alexa only supports whole degrees. The rst temperature
adjustment that gets made will set the temperature to a whole degree,
if it was not already.
Heat and Cool (Auto-Changeover)
Alexa will control your thermostat a bit differently when in Heat • Cool mode. In
Heat • Cool mode the system can automatically switch between heating and
cooling as needed.
For instance, if you ask Alexa to set the hallway temperature to 70 degrees,
your thermostat will use this as a midpoint temperature, setting the Heat
setpoint to 69 and Cool setpoint to 72. Alexa will conrm your request, saying
“Hallway is in auto mode, aiming for 70 degrees”.
NOTE:
1. You cannot change the mode (heat only, cool only, etc.) of your Comfort
Sync A3 thermostat using Alexa.
2. If your thermostat is in ‘away’ or ‘Away Sync’ mode, any Alexa commands
to change thermostat temperature will not work in this mode.
3. Currently, you can pair only one home that is listed in your Allied Comfort
Sync account with Alexa. In the situation where you have multiple homes
associated with your Comfort Sync account, you will not have a choice to
choose the home for Alexa. You can check the homes on your account by

Google Home and Assistant
Download the Google Home app from Google Play or the App Store™ on a
compatible phone or tablet. Then follow the on-screen steps to nish setup.
Once you have added the thermostat to your Google Home app, then install
the Google Assistant app (Android and IOS) to enable voice control.
NOTE: Google Assistant app may be already installed on your Android device.
Temp Hold and Schedule Mode Functions
Raising or lowering the temperature is not supported when using a schedule or
Temp Hold feature. When attempting to change the temperature when in either
reference mode, Google Assistant will respond with “mode not supported“.
Heat / Cool Mode (Auto-Changeover)
Although Google Assistant supports heat / cool mode temperature adjustments,
it will do so only by maintaining the currently established temperature ranged.
For example, if you set your heat set point to 60ºF and your cooling set point to
80ºF at the thermostat itself, then you have established a temperature range
of 20 degrees. Any adjustment using Google Assistant, either through the
app or by voice will maintain a 20 degree range differential as well. Let’s say
you change your heat set point to 65ºF. Now your thermostat will indicate the
heating is at 65ºF and cooling is set at 85ºF. Adjusting the cooling set point
will result in the range being maintained as well. In the Google Home app,
the thermostat image will only display the approximate center temperature
between the current heating and cooling set points. In this example it would
display 75ºF.
