Mitsubishi Electric Trane HVAC US (METUS) announces kumo cloud app integration with Amazon Alexa. kumo cloud mobile app and web service put enhanced control of heating and cooling at users’ fingertips, no matter where they are. The integration with Alexa allows homeowners to enable and control their Mitsubishi Electric system simply by asking Alexa. To begin, homeowners must download the Alexa app and enable the kumo cloud smart home skill within the app. Once linked to the homeowner’s account, the app allows users to turn their system on or off, change set points or modes for an individual zone or entire group, as well as request zone status, including the humidity or current temperature simply by asking Alexa or using the app.
Once the skill is enabled, homeowners can use voice prompts such as, “Alexa, what is the temperature in the bedroom,” to check the room’s current temperature. Customers also have the option to rename zones to ‘kitchen,’ or ‘girl’s room’ for added
customisation. “We are excited to announce kumo cloud app integration with
Alexa,” says Charles Miltiades, Director of Controls Products & Solutions
for Mitsubishi Electric Trane HVAC US. “The integration maximises smart home
technology to help homeowners easily control room temperatures for optimal
comfort.” kumo cloud mobile app and web service provide an easy way to optimise
home comfort levels – such as turning off heating and cooling systems in unused
rooms or setting individual temperature preferences. The app provides remote
access to the heating and cooling system in three easy steps – plug in, setup
and download app. It has the capability to control various functions of
Mitsubishi Electric systems, including heating and cooling schedules, system
alerts, fan speed, vane direction and more. The kumo cloud app is compatible
with the latest generation of Mitsubishi Electric residential HVAC systems.
