Voice In Canada Flash Briefing #1324
Hello. Good Monday. It’s Teri here. And, I want to tell you today a little bit about another device that was recently announced at the Amazon event that just happened in the last week or so.
Amazon introduced the Amazon Smart Thermostat. And, of course, this works seamlessly with Alexa. And, they give some examples on their product page of ways that you can use Alexa to control the smart thermostat.
The idea behind this, of course, is that it will save you money with your heating costs because you can set the thermostat to be on and off depending on when you are home.
You can give commands such as, “Alexa, I’m leaving,” and then Alexa will know what that means as far as turning your thermostat on or off.
You can also, of course, use voice commands to say things like, “Alexa, set the temperature to 19 degrees” or whatever it is that you’d like.
And you can also control it from the Amazon Alexa app on your phone.

So there’s a lot of, obviously, features that are built to work very well with Alexa. Now here’s the catch.
I don’t see this product yet on the Canadian page. And I do not know when it will be coming to Canada.
On the US page, it is there but it says it’s currently unavailable. So, when this is going to be available is a little bit of a guess to you and me.
And whether or not it’s going to come to Canada at the same time as it comes to the US, it’s hard to say.
Nevertheless, that is the latest smart home device from Amazon. It’s made in partnership with Honeywell, and you may know that name.
They do tons of smart thermostats and thermostats in general. So that’s where it is.
I will try to keep you updated if I find out anything about this; when it’s available and particularly of course if it’s coming to Canada, and we go from there.
Alright? So, I hope you’re having a wonderful day and I’ll talk to you soon
