Dear all,

could you give me a hint for using thermostates with Alexa? I created a thread here:

> [@Thermostat items for voice control (Echo/Alexa and Google Assistant)](https://community.openhab.org/t/thermostat-items-for-voice-control-echo-alexa-and-google-assistant/65912):
>
> I own the beautiful Spirit thermostat ([ZWave Thing | openHAB](https://www.openhab.org/addons/bindings/zwave/thing.html?manufacturer=eurotronic&file=spirit_0_0.html)) and I would like to set the temperature via Echo/Google Assistant voice commands. I found those recommendations from the Echo binding thread: … and from Homekit binding: What is the relation between the 13 modes the thermostat is able to run (see device page above) and the “homekit:HeatingCoolingMode” setting? And how will I use it? Will the user call these Homekit modes (how?) and I should translate it to the corresponding opera…

Thanks!
