With the MySTRATAHEAT skill and Alexa you can control your Laticrete STRATA_HEAT smart heating system with your voice. Simply enable the skill in your Alexa app to get started. To use the skill, you first need to say which thermostat you want to control. There are two ways to specify which thermostat you want. • Use the thermostat names you have already set up in the MySTRATAHEAT app. You can also edit these within the MySTRATAHEAT app. • Alternatively, you can create Alexa groups in the Alexa app, like ‘Downstairs’ or ‘Living Room’ and add one or more of your STRATA_HEAT smart thermostats to that group.
Now you know the name of your thermostat or group containing your thermostat, you can control your heating with phrases like: • “Alexa, set Bedroom Thermostat to 21 degrees” • “Alexa, increase Central Heating by 3 degrees” • “Alexa, decrease Bathroom Underfloor Heating by 5 degrees”
The changes you make using Alexa will work alongside the settings you have in the MySTRATAHEAT app, so if you already have a heating schedule and use Alexa to raise the temperature, the temperature will automatically revert back to your schedule on the next scheduled change of temperature. That means when you’re at home and use Alexa to turn up the heating, if you have a schedule, the temperature won’t just stay at that higher level forever. If you’d like to have one temperature indefinitely, use the ‘Fixed Temperature’ mode on the MySTRATAHEAT app.
