Alexa will control your thermostat a bit dierently
when it’s in Heat • Cool mode. In Heat and 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 set
point to 69 and Cool set point 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 thermostat using Alexa.
2. If your thermostat is in ‘away’ or ‘smart away’
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 Lennox iComfort Account with
Alexa. In the situation where you have multiple
homes associated with your iComfort account,
you will not have a choice to choose the home
for Alexa. You can check the homes associated
your account by visiting:
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 Goo-
gle 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.
Raising or lowering the temperature is not support-
ed when using a schedule feature.
When attempting to change the temperature when
in either reference mode, Google Assistant will re-
spond with “mode not supported“.
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 thermo-
stat 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 dierential 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 tem-
perature between the current heating and cooling
