Building a thermostat app

We partnered with a leading HVAC manufacturer to connect their thermostats to the Internet of Things.

 

 

Carrier’s mobile apps allow their customers to interact with their home thermostat, change settings, and monitor the health of their heating and cooling systems - all remotely. The Infinity thermostat integrates with “connected home” devices like Amazon Alexa and is compatible with both Apple and Android products.

We designed built the IoT infrastructure and continue to manage the development roadmap.

When we originally launched, there was no concept of Alexa. As opportunities to expand their product reach have presented themselves, we’ve helped our client stay relevant and transition to new platforms.”

 

 Voice Integration

When instructed, an Alexa-enabled smart speaker communicates with Carrier’s system and adjusts the environment in specific areas of the house. Users can set zones and assign names to specific rooms of their home via the MyInfinity companion app or an online customer portal.
 

Activity Hold

Controlling the temperature via Alexa activates a Manual Touch ’n Go™ activity hold with heat and cool setpoints to attain the requested temperature for the current mode (Heat, Cool or Auto). The manual activity hold is scheduled until the start of the next program period.

Command Examples

  • "Alexa, set the living room to 68 degrees."

  • "Alexa, lower the upstairs temperature by 4 degrees."

  • "Alexa, heat the kitchen 2 degrees."

  • "Alexa, set the living room fan to 50%"

  • "Alexa, turn on away at home"

  • "Alexa, turn on sleep upstairs"
