Voice control is becoming a common feature with home equipment including HVAC systems. Amazon Alexa is perhaps the most popular home voice control system. Alexa allows for different different voice commands for HVAC system operations. Mitsubishi Electric heat pumps with Wi-Fi control can work with simple voice commands through Amazon Alexa.
How to set up Amazon Alexa to control Mitsubishi HVAC systems
