The yellow exclamation point means that you have a notification waiting for you on the app. This notification can be anything from a required update of the app itself to alert of your energy usage. Essentially, it’s your Smart Thermostat telling you that it wants to tell you something about your system!
What Could Trigger a Yellow Exclamation Point?
It’s important to understand the yellow exclamation point is not necessarily a warning or a bad sign. Although it seems alarming, it is just trying to tell you that you have a notification waiting for you! And as you now know, it could mean many things including the fact that your system is running extremely efficiently today!
Is There a Way to Disable the Yellow Exclamation Point?
The only way to disable the yellow exclamation point, i.e. get the icon removed from the display, is to open the Alexa app on your phone and check your notifications.
However, if you would like the yellow exclamation point to never appear, you need to disable the notifications.To do so, simply follow the instructions below:
- Open the Alexa app.Select MORE.Click on SETTINGS.Select the Smart Thermostat. Click the toggle to OFF.
This also means that the Alexa app will not send through notifications on your phone for the device, so it’s important to only turn them off if you plan on checking your app consistently in case any problems arise.
Within the app, you will be able to set the temperature for your home, check your energy usage, and of course, set all of your personal preferences from anywhere! So whether you’re in the car on the way home or you are leaving home for a few days, you can always adjust your thermostat.
