Hi @hln98,
I’ve talked to Amazon about building a tighter integration (similar to the Ecobee thermostat) so that you don’t have to go through the “Alexa, tell Rachio…” commands. It’s something we really want to do, but we don’t have a timeline for when they’ll have the pieces necessary for us to build it. If you have any feedback for how we can make the current skill easier to use, let us know (unfortunately we can’t remove the “Alexa, tell Rachio” part)!
