Amazon Echo and Honeywell Evohome?

Post by CaptNemo »

Amazon Echo has a Honeywell skill, however this seems to be a different Honeywell cloud solution than used here in the EU?

The My Evohome is on http://getconnected.honeywell.com/ (Dutch site) and this covers Europe and Middle East. The US site http://yourhome.honeywell.com/ mentions the Amazon Echo integration.

Anyone has the Echo connected to the EU Honeywell Cloud?

I've just enabled it yesterday - UK based.

Use Honeywell Total Connect Comfort International skill

You will need to create smart groups for it to be useful - it also allows you to rename custom/economy/away modes.
I do not think there's a way to read back temperatures though...

On the UK site it also mentions Amazon Alexa support. Will try to convert my online evohome to UK...

No success. I can connect the skill to my evohome, but it does not discover any devices... :(

Just adding for references.

The Amazon UK Skill Store has the EU Honeywell Evohome link. It doesn't currently have Homeseer so I am not switching yet, but it is working.
For selecting the UK Skill Store you need to switch your Amazon Account location to a UK address.
  • Login to your regular Amazon account, to to Accounts & Lists,
  • select Manage Your Content and Devices in Digital Management,
  • select the Settings tab and
  • change Country Settings to a UK address.
This will wipe your Echo settings and skills :shock: :shock: !
