How to Name Your Oven

  • To rename your Oven, you'll need to use your Oven's name together with “my Oven.” For example, if your Oven is named “Oliver” in the Home Connect® app, you should say “Alexa, tell my Oven Oliver to start.” For shorter Smart Home commands, you can just use your Oven's name without saying “my Oven.”
  • If Alexa can't understand your Oven names, try renaming your main Oven to “Oven,” and your others with numbers. For example, name your Ovens “Oven,” and Oven Number Two” in the Home Connect® app.

Create Routines with Amazon Alexa

Alexa routines allow you to automate multiple tasks using a single trigger. You can create a list of actions that will happen after one of these triggers: voice, schedule, device, location, and alarm. For the oven, you can include one of these actions in a routine:

  • turn on the oven (this will also start the default program)
  • turn off the oven
  • start a program

Examples of routines

  • Make sure your oven is turned off when you leave the house by adding it to your leaving home routine
  • Create a mealtime routine to preheat your oven when you're ready to start dinner

Amazon Alexa FAQs

What can I do if Alexa doesn't understand what I'm saying?

Communication with Alexa is based on a couple of basic rules. When you launch a skill, for instance, phrases such as "my Home Connect oven" can lead to errors. It is therefore better to play it safe by selecting a direct command (e.g. "Alexa, start Home Connect oven").

Sometimes you may use words or phrases that are not yet saved in the system. Simply rephrase your request and try again. However, in the background, we are continually updating and improving the system with each new version.

Can I say "oven" or "dishwasher" instead of "Home Connect oven" or "Home Connect Dishwasher"?

If you want to give a voice command to your washer, you can say, for instance, "Alexa, ask My Dishwasher for status." Your Amazon Echo needs the word "Alexa" to wake up, while in this case "My Dishwasher" is the keyword for addressing your Thermador dishwasher with Home Connect.

Accordingly, you can use voice commands for “My Coffee Machine”"My Oven"“My Dishwasher” and “My Hood”. One possible voice command is for example: "Alexa, tell My Coffee Machine to prepare a large extra strong Cappuccino and start now."
