How Can We Help?
Voice Notifications is a feature that allows you to receive a phone call for notifications.
There are two types of Voice Notifications:
- Voice Notifications for Alarms
- Voice Notifications for Non-Alarms
If there is an alarm, there is prompt to disarm. If there is a non-alarm event, a notification update is sent.
Note: Voice notifications are only supported in the US and Canada. Voice Notifications are not available for Thermostat Alerts.
