Now you can talk with your CERV Smart Ventilation system! We've worked hard to build a list of easy-to-remember commands to let you intuitively interact with your CERV through your Alexa device.
Want to know what your indoor air quality is? Just ask! Kitchen a bit smoky from the burnt popcorn you forgot about? Tell the CERV to vent!
This skill links with your existing CERV-ICE account (if you haven't created one yet for your CERV, head on over to www.buildequinox.com/cervice) so when you enable the skill, you will log in to CERV-ICE to authorize the Alexa skill to communicate with your CERV. Once linked, your Alexa will attempt to discover your CERV, and then add it as a Smarthome device. As a Smarthome device, you can easily configure the CERV with Routines. For example, at 9:00pm every evening as you're getting ready for bed, Alexa could lower the Indoor Air Quality Setpoint to 700ppm to make sure you get plenty of fresh air while you sleep! Your imagination is the limit!
