Amazon Alexa™ Command List

 

General Tips

At this time, start all commands by saying:  "Alexa", followed by your request.  If the command fails, try different wording, or consider renaming a device to a simpler term.  American Standard® will continue to monitor voice performance and make improvements.  Alexa will not allow the control of secure devices like door locks and garage door openers.

When setting up voice-assisted devices, it is best to avoid the following naming conventions for your American Standard Home-enabled devices:

• Misspellings or complex names
• Numbers
• Special characters
