Windows 10: Cortana Can't Find GLAS Thermostat

Toryn · Oct 31, 2018

Cortana seems to have lost the ability to control my GLAS thermostat.

With nothing changing on my end, commands such as: Set the thermostat to heat or Set the temperature to 74 now result in Cortana replying back "I couldn't find thermostat." or "I couldn't find temperature." Previously, these commands worked properly. Oddly enough, Cortana is invokable from the thermostat itself. She appears on the display and functions, except for not being able to control the thermostat. Also, I can control the thermostat just fine from the GLAS app.

I've tried signing out of Cortana on the thermostat, removing the device from the "My Devices" section in the Cortana app, rebooting the thermostat, signing back into Cortana on the thermostat, and then setting up the thermostat as a new device from the Cortana app. No luck.

I've also tried signing out and removing the device, and then completely factory resetting the GLAS thermostat, updating the software back to the latest version, and then signing back into Cortana and adding the device.... also no luck.

I even tried renaming the thermostat to a custom name and asking Cortana to set the temperature using that name. Example: I changed the thermostat from "Living room" to "My Test Device." It's as if the device is just not registered in Cortana.

This problem occurs regardless of where I invoke Cortana from (Surface Pro, Invoke Speaker, Cortana Android app, the thermostat itself, etc. etc.) I only have one single Microsoft account and I'm using that account on all of the devices / apps I'm attempting to control the thermostat from. Lastly, Cortana is still able to control other devices (Hue Bulbs for example) without issue.

GLAS Thermostat Details

System image version: 1.0.1.68

User interface version: 1.7.14.12

Control engine version: 1.0.599.0

Device management version: 1.2.9.0

Please don't ask me to create a new Microsoft account and test from there. I'm almost certain this is account specific... but switching accounts isn't an option.

Cortana and GLAS Thermostat (Windows 10 Iot)

Hey all,

I am not sure why Microsoft decided to not include the ability to set reminders on the GLAS thermostat but I think that is a mistake. We took our invoke and placed it in a different room so we could utilize the Cortana and XBOX integration since we expected
the new GLAS thermostat to include the majority of Cortana (not media) skills.

This seems like an odd choice. I hope you enable soon.

JCI and Microsoft reveal GLAS smart thermostat featuring Cortana

JCI and Microsoft reveal GLAS, the first powerful smart thermostat featuring Cortana

Heating and cooling account for more than 40 percent of the energy use in a typical home and makes for the largest energy expense for most families. In the commercial building sector, the cost for energy is approximately 40 percent of their expenses.

We’re excited to share that today, Johnson Controls (JCI), the inventors of the first room thermostat, revealed details of GLAS, the first smart thermostat featuring Cortana and powered by Windows 10 IoT Core.

The simple to use, elegant thermostat features a translucent OLED touchscreen display for you to control temperature, monitor indoor and outdoor air quality, check the weather and more so you can live and work comfortably in your home or office. When connected to the internet, GLAS continuously monitors air quality and intelligently adjust settings to help create a comfortable home environment. GLAS can also adapt to your schedule and save energy, blending seamlessly with a home or building’s environment when not in use. After adopting your preferred settings and routines, the thermostat can intelligently detect when you’re home and can adjust settings accordingly to keep your space comfortable and energy efficient.

To ensure GLAS stays up to date with important feature and security updates while providing a simple and interactive experience, Johnson Controls turned to Microsoft technologies to bring GLAS to life, including its most secure, trusted and cutting-edge IoT platform, and its personal assistant, Cortana.

Cortana is integrated into the thermostat so you can use your voice to easily adjust your space, in addition to understanding indoor and outdoor temperature and learning about the current weather forecast. For example, just say, “Hey Cortana, set the temperature to 68 degrees,” and GLAS will adjust the temperature in your space accordingly. Moreover, Cortana can help you manage your calendar, inform you of traffic, answer questions, and more, so all of this information is on display in one place to help jumpstart your day before leaving the door. You can access GLAS on mobile, tablet or web browser, with mobile apps currently available to download for iOS and Android, and a Windows 10 app expected soon in the Microsoft Store.

GLAS is the latest personal device built using the Cortana Devices SDK, much like theHarmon Kardon Invoke with Cortana. Cortana delivers intelligence and deep integration with Microsoft’s suite of knowledge and productivity tools. Coupled with JCI’s deep experience in building automation and controls, GLAS will provide a seamless and interactive experience you can control with your voice or any of your connected devices to help ensure your home is comfortable.

Windows 10 IoT simplifies the process of bringing together all the pieces and technologies needed to make a full solution. JCI chose to build GLAS on Windows 10 IoT Core and utilize Azure IoT Hub device management capabilities, which was released with the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update. Because GLAS is powered by Windows 10 IoT Core and Azure IoT, the smart thermostat keeps getting better by delivering the latest feature and security software updates.

On July 19, Microsoft posted a short YouTube clip, "Reinventing the Thermostat," which showed off the coming GLAS thermostat.

I asked Microsoft officials for more details, such as pricing and availability. No response so far. There's also nothing about the GLAS on the Johnson Controls site that I could find.

Microsoft officials said back in December that any devices running Windows 10 IoT Core had to include screens. As of the Windows 10 Creators Update release in March, Cortana was available to all Windows 10 IoT devices with displays...
