Setup
First you must have an Amazon Alexa enabled device installed and connected to
your home Wi-Fi network. Use the following procedure to enable the iComfort E30
Smart Thermostat Skill using the Amazon Alexa mobile app.
1. Download and install the Amazon Alexa app on your mobile device.
2. Start the Amazon Alexa app.
3. Search for "Lennox" in the Skills or Smart Home Skills section of the Amazon
Alexa app and 'Enable Skill' for the Lennox iComfort Skill.
4. Login with your Lennox iComfort user name and password
5. Your Lennox account should now be successfully linked with Amazon Alexa.
6. You can now add your iComfort thermostat to Alexa by either of the following
options:
•
Clicking on "Discover Devices" in the Smart Home section in the Alexa
app OR
•
Ask Alexa to discover your iComfort Thermostat by saying, "Alexa, discover
my devices".
Under "Smart Home" in your Alexa app, you should see a list of discovered devices
with your thermostat name(s). You can see your system name on the E30 home
screen above the indoor temperature display.
IMPORTANT
If the system name displays the default "System" then it will be called "Thermostat"
in Alexa. If you changed the system name to a custom name other than "System",
then that custom name will be used for Alexa.
So only use the exact name(s) you see on the E30 screen when speaking your
command. For example, "Alexa, change the "Hallway" to 68 degrees" will work, but
"Alexa, change the "Hallway thermostat" to 68 degrees" will not.
In a situation when you may have two or more thermostats in your home,
each thermostat must have a unique name.
If your thermostat is using the "Feels Like" feature, Alexa supports that mode of
operation as well.
NOTE: You can change your system name by going to the thermostat home
screen, select menu > settings > name.
