Poor Alexa and Google Home User Experience

[samwardill]

I've just set up Alexa & Google (having been using Wiser for 18th Months). I find the Alexa / Google Home experience to be poor. The Alexa / Google Home Skills do not replicate the App.

You are unable to use a command to "Boost the Heating in [Room] for 30 mins, 1 hr, 2 hr, 3hr" and "Turn Off the Heating Boost in [Room]" . This is the main thing I do in the App.

You can't omit the name of the Room where the Alexa / Google Home Device is located (in Alexa / Google Home) to be in the same room.  For any other device you can. For example, if your smart speaker is in your living room you just say "Alexa turn off the lights" and it will turn of the lights in the living room. You can't say "Alexa, increase the temperature" or "Turn up the heating" (which would be more intuitive).

Hi @samwardill  ,

Sorry to that late answer on your post. Thanks for your feedbacks relating the integration in different Home assistants. As we released several new versions after your post, did you see some improvements on that ?

I need to close the post but if you want to share updated experience, please reopen one!
