Alexa and nest thermostat Celsius/Fahrenheit

Lakestreet — Tue, 25 Oct 2022 10:31:41 GMT

Hi, when I ask my Alexa to set temperature to 21 degrees (I have it set to Celsius) it will not allow as it only recognises Fahrenheit.
So I currently have to say ‘Alexa, set heating to 71 degrees to achieve 21 degrees Celsius.

any ideas? I’m us in by Alexa through Sonos speakers.

thankyou in advance.

Hi @Lakestreet

You need to change the settings within Alexa to use Celcius.
To change this login to the Alexa app. 😊

In the Alexa app, go to Settings->This Device->Temperature Units

Hey folks,

@Lakestreet, chiming in to ensure everything is good here. Have you had the chance to try the suggestion above? If yes, how is it?

Yes this worked, thank you. I have multiple sonos speakers so another tip is that when you change the first speaker, there is an option to 'sync' that setting to the rest of your devices.

Thanks again. 🙏
