Alexa thermostat no longer take comment to turn on or off

[Mart0787]

Hi,

I’ve been using Nest Thermostat for years and now I’ve heard Nest no longer allows Nest to commend ‘Turn heating on’ or Turn heating off’

You have to use a different phase. This is very annoying! Please sort it out

Hi Mart0787,

Thank you for reaching out. I understand that you need to use Alexa to turn on your Google Nest thermostat. I am happy to assist you! Please visit "Control Google Nest products with Amazon Alexa," where you will find the steps to do so.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi Manuel,

Thanks for reaching out and helping me!

I did read these commands, but cannot see one that says about asking ‘Alexa, turn on the thermostat’

Last year, I was able to say ‘Alexa, heating on’ and it would come on and ‘Alexa, Heating off’ and it would go off.

Maybe I’ve missed something but couldn’t do it anymore
