With the Honeywell Action and Google, you can now interact with your Honeywell evohome and Single Zone Thermostats with Google Assistant. When using the Action, you need to specify by name which thermostat/sensor to use. There are two ways to define this/these names:
- Use the name(s) you set up already – these are shown and can be changed in the Total Connect Comfort app, or
- Create an Google Home Room, like “Bedroom” or “Downstairs”, and add the thermostat and/or one or more sensors to the group. Once you know the name or group of your thermostat, you can say the following: “OK Google, lower Bedroom by 3 degrees”, or “OK Google, set ‘Living Room’ temperature to 21 degrees”.
A list of example commands includes:
- “OK Google, set [group/zone or thermostat name] to X degrees”
- “OK Google, raise [group/zone or thermostat name] by X degrees”
- "OK Google,lower [group/zone or thermostat name] by X degrees”
- “OK Google, what is the temperature in the [group/zone or thermostat name]?”
- “OK Google, what is the [group/zone or thermostat name] set to?” User experience notes:
- "OK Google, set [name] to Heat Mode will set the scheduled setpoint.
- "OK Google, set [name] to Off Mode will set the zone to 5 degrees.
