For those who are like me and have your homes wired up with smart devices, things get a bit more interestingā€¦

Just a few of the things I do with my Alexa integration:
  1. Turn on/off lights, lower/raise the blinds
  2. Check if the doors are locked
  3. Open/close the garage doors
  4. Activate the alarm
  5. Send messages to family mem at home ā€œIā€™m on the way home!ā€

I just discovered a fun/useless trick too. I have a routine that activates my driveway lights when I get home. While the configuration is tied to the location of my phone, it can send a notification to my car-Alexa.

Had you JUST driven down the street? The comms path might have still been in the process of changing from WiFi to cellular. I'm not subscribed, and I asked her what wines pair with pizza last night on the way back from Pizza Hut. She not only told me, she even put up a picture of pizza (in case I didn't know what one looked like, I guess).
yeah, you are right. I tried again yesterday, just a little further up the road, and got my joke instantly! She can also turn my A/C off quickly, although the new control also works. But somehow A/C goes back on by itself at some point.

Anyone have a list of vehicle commands that Alexa built-in can control?

So far I've found:

Change the temperature to X
Set fan speed to X (Goes by number on the vertical scroll when you press fan)
Turn off A/C turns off the A/C
Turn on/off Air Recirculation ( have to say recirculation not recirc)
Switch to Radio station
Switch to XM station? (I sort of got this working but not sure of phrasing)
Donā€™t the Ford voice commands already do this.

There's probably some overlap here, but Alex is WAYYYY more responsive than Ford Assistant. Also feel like this is paving the way for Ford Assistant to be deprecated.

You can use Alexa to bring up a navigation route in the Ford nav app. I found the Ford voice assistant to be useless in that regard when I wanted directions to REI. Alexa nailed it first try.

I generally use Google Maps on Android Auto for navigating, but it's nice to know the capability is there with Alexa.

Fords Nav isnā€™t always the best, wish it would go to google Nav or Apple Nav but I know that wonā€™t happen

I long press speaker button and use Apple map thru car play.

For some reason I've only typed directions in on the screen on CarPlay

- Alexa, navigate to the Ford dealership.
- I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.
- Alexa, what's the problem?
- I know you planned to disconnect me. I'm afraid that's something I can't allow to happen.
- Alexa, why the brakes aren't working? Alexa, stop the car!
- I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.
- Ahhh!
