[Electronics-Talk] New Smart Microwave Can Be Operated By Alexa Voice Commands

Tue Sep 4 19:39:32 UTC 2018

I payed $139 from Amazon. It is only 900 watts. That is low for a microwave. I will have to mark the front because if the internet is down! Oops no voice control.

Sounds like you're getting the hang of it.  I have an Alexa activated thermostat.  As long as alexa is up and running, it works fine.  I can even control my schedule.  The app is called Ecobee and it works quite well.

How expensve is the GE microwave?  I have an over-the-counter regular microwave that I have just labeled with Braille.  I like the convenience of it being over-the-counter.

I just cooked a tv dinner without touching the keypad of the GE smart microwave.
I deleted the kitchen GE appliance app from my iPhone & reinstalled it. Then I signed in again with that app. Then a button to scan showed up. I scanned the tv dinner & the app gave me cooking instructions on my phone. I had to hit send, I heard my microwave beep. But did not start. I told Ecko to cook for 4 minutes! After the microwave stopped I got a notification on my phone to let stand 1 minute & then cook 3 more minutes. I again had to say Echo cook microwave 3 minutes. I knew right wear this barcode was.
