Yes. All Vine thermostats can be managed verbally with Amazon Alexa. Read our Amazon Alexa support articles for more on linking your Vine thermostat, what voice commands you can give, and other helpful tips.
In the Fan Auto setting, the fan runs only when your HVAC system is generating heating or cooling.
In the Fan On setting, the fan is always on. It provides air circulation even if your HVAC system is otherwise idle.
Once connected, you will be able to verbally change thermostat modes, and set, lower and raise the temperature on your Vine thermostat. You will also be able to ask Alexa the room temperature, the thermostat’s mode, and the thermostat’s set point. For Alexa to properly carry out your command, you will need to use the name listed in the Alexa app for your thermostat. By default, this is the name you gave your Vine thermostat in the Vine App, however, you can update the thermostat name in the Alexa app if you choose.
For instance, in the following examples, let’s say you’ve named your Vine thermostat “house.”
Here are some examples of commands to give Alexa:
“Alexa – set house to 68 degrees”
“Alexa – raise (or increase) house by 2 degrees”
“Alexa – lower (or decrease) house by 4 degrees”
“Alexa – set house to heat”
“Alexa – set house to cool”
“Alexa – set house to auto”
“Alexa – set house to off”
“Alexa – what is the temperature in house?”
“Alexa – what is house temperature?”
“Alexa – what is house set to?”
Auto Mode Note: When using Alexa while your thermostat is in auto mode, Alexa will change your comfort range to one degree above and one degree below your requested temperature. For example, if your current cool set point is 80 degrees and your current heat set point is 60 degrees, you have a 20-degree comfort range with an implied 70-degree midpoint. If you ask Alexa to set your thermostat to 75 degrees, your 20-degree comfort range will change to a three-degree comfort range, and your new cool and heat set points will be 76 degrees and 74 degrees, respectively.
Fahrenheit/Celsius Note: Alexa and your Vine thermostat can function in either Fahrenheit or Celsius, however both Alexa and your Vine thermostat should be set up in your preferred format. To change to degrees F/C on your Vine thermostat, navigate to the Vine app and click Settings and then Thermostat Display. You can toggle between F/C. To change to degrees F/C on your Echo, navigate to the Alexa app and click Settings. Under Alexa Devices, find and click your Echo. Scroll down and toggle Metric Measurements to On for Celsius or Off for Fahrenheit.
If you want to change the name of your thermostat, you will need to do this in your Vine app.
The circulating fan feature allows the fan to circulate air when the system is not running. There is a time long setup to turn on or turn off in the period of fan criculation work.
The time long represents how often the thermostat will run the fan and how often the fan stop in the period of fan criculation . You can set the Circulating Fan feature from the thermostat or the Vine app.
Example: If you set the circulating fan to on 30min, off 60min, the fan will run 30 minutes, then stop 60min.
If any calls for heat/cool occur in the period, that run time is subtracted from the overall run time for the fan for on time. And when the fan is off period, the time the heat or cool turn on, the fan will turn on right now.
Example: If you set the circulating fan on 40min, and your furnace runs for a total of 15 minutes , the fan will only run independently for 25 minutes then stop.
