Alexa... What am I doing wrong?

[TheeMike]

I integrated the Ironwood to my Alexa but she thinks that I say "tracker" so I get no information.

I am saying "tray ger".

Am I saying it wrong?

Have you tried calling it the "Ironwood" or whatever model you have?

I will give it a shot

I havent every used Alexa so im not familiar with it but, did you name your grill? Will Alexa respond if you call the grill by name?

I have used Google assistant a couple of times and I think it responds to me using both Traeger or the grill name assigned. I would ask Hey Google, whats the temp on the Traeger and it would reply. I would also ask it to raise the temperature on the Ironwood and it responded to that
I don't have Alexa but figure it should be the same

Alexa is by Amozon, so I would think they are 2 different platforms. Google my be more "forgiving " then Alexa as far as enunciation. Idk.

I figured Amazon would have been years ahead of Google. I was only assuming that they'd be similar in how they respond
Google isn't forgiving, I argue with her all the time. "I don't understand....I am not able to do that..." Some of the same reasons I am no longer married
I gave up with trying to get my Fireboard linked up with it. I only used Google on my Traeger when I first hooked it up, My phone app is way more convenient

You, sir, are the winner! Thank you so much.

SWEET!

I'm glad it worked out.

I have my 780 a different name. Alexa works fine

Alexa will tell me the temp of my 780 but nothing else (ie change temp, probe temp).

I thought this was only on Ironwood and Timberline so I was kinda surprised to see even this much after I enabled the skill.

With all due respect, don't need Alexa in the mix but sure would like a good Apple Watch app like FireBoard has plus control capability like some of the current thermostats like Ecobee.

That would be useful

The Alexa is a “because I can” thing for me. The Wifire makes me feel lazy. My first Traeger was a little Junior I got for free with high medium and smoke for controls. That was way more interactive. Actually cooking
