Simple voice commands for Google Assistant and Alexa
Hilo is compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, so you can control certain Hilo-connected devices using simple voice commands! All you have to do is link your Hilo account with your Amazon or Google Home account. It’s that easy!
Want to adjust your thermostats or set the temperature in a room or the whole house? Create different moods by changing the colour of your light bulbs or by dimming or brightening the lights? Turn smart plug devices on and off as you please? A simple voice command is all it takes!
Examples of voice commands
Hilo and Sinopé thermostats
Alexa/OK Google…
• “Set the living room temperature to 15 degrees.”
• “Raise the temperature in the kitchen by 2 degrees.”

Scenes
To get the most out of your Hilo smart home, create scenes that you can activate and deactivate using a simple voice command.
You can use scenes to create different moods (enjoying a romantic dinner, working at the computer, etc.) or simply to make your life easier (changing the lighting and temperature before you leave the house, giving the impression that someone’s home while you’re away, etc.).

• “Activate Story time.”
• “Activate Off to the cottage!”
• “Activate I’m home.”
Lighting

• “Turn on the bathroom lights.”
• “Turn off all the lights.”
Smart plugs

It’s all about simplifying your life!
