A guide to using the Jacuzzi® SmartTub® System with your voice

Once the system is set up, you can soon begin enjoying the benefits of controlling your hot tub remotely. You may need to first integrate Siri® with your SmartTub® System. To control your Jacuzzi® SmartTub® System with Siri®, your SmartTub® app needs to be linked to the Apple® HomeKit® system, which is the foundation for Siri®’s smart home controls. Follow these steps to link them:

Step 1: Ensure your SmartTub® app supports HomeKit®

HomeKit is Apple’s framework for controlling smart home devices, and it works seamlessly with Siri®. The first step in using Siri® to control your hot tub is to confirm that your SmartTub® app is compatible with HomeKit.

Step 2: Add your Jacuzzi® Hot Tub to the Home app

Open the Home app: On your iPhone®, iPad®, or Mac®, open the Home app, which is the central hub for all of your smart home devices that are compatible with HomeKit®. This includes your Jacuzzi® Hot Tub.

Add a new accessory: Tap the “+” symbol in the top-right corner to add a new device. Follow the on-screen instructions to scan the QR code or enter the pairing code provided in the SmartTub® app.

Assign Your hot tub to a room: Once added, you can assign your hot tub to a specific room, such as “backyard spa” or “patio.” You can also give it a custom name, such as “Jacuzzi®” or “Spa.”

Step 3: Activate Siri® control

Once your SmartTub® System is linked to HomeKit, you can begin controlling your hot tub using Siri®. Here are some common voice commands you can try:

• “Hey Siri®, set the Jacuzzi® temperature to 102°F.”
• “Hey Siri®, turn on the spa jets.”
• “Hey Siri®, turn on the lights in the hot tub.”

If your hot tub is linked correctly, Siri® will execute these commands instantly. This level of voice control means you don’t even need to touch your phone or open the SmartTub® app manually. Just speak your command, and your spa will respond.

Advanced Siri® commands and control

Once you’ve set up the basic Siri® integration, you may want to explore some of the advanced ways to control your hot tub. Here are a few examples:

1. Scheduling operations

Siri® can help you schedule operations, making sure your hot tub is ready when you are. For example, you can ask Siri® to set your hot tub to a specific temperature at a given time:

• “Hey Siri®, schedule the hot tub to heat up to 100°F at 6 p.m. today.”

2. Setting up routines

Apple’s Shortcuts app can also help automate hot tub controls. Shortcuts allow you to set up routines where you trigger multiple actions with a single command. For instance, you can create a “Relax” shortcut that:

• Turns on your hot tub jets.
• Sets the temperature to your preferred setting.
• Adjusts the lighting to your chosen ambiance.

You can set up shortcuts in the Siri Shortcuts® app and then activate them via Siri®. Once the shortcut is created, you only need to say, “Hey Siri®, activate Relax mode.”

3. Monitoring energy usage with Siri®

The SmartTub® System allows you to monitor energy consumption. For example, if you want to know how much energy your hot tub has been using, you can ask Siri®:

• “Hey Siri®, how much energy has the Jacuzzi® Hot Tub used today?”

This will provide you with a quick overview, which is particularly useful for maintaining your hot tub’s efficiency.

Benefits of using Siri® to control your Jacuzzi® Hot Tub

There are many incredible perks to using Siri® to control and manage your Jacuzzi® Hot Tub. Just a few of these are as follows:

1. Hands-Free Control: The ability to control your hot tub with just your voice adds convenience, especially when you’re relaxing outside or have your hands full.
2. Enhanced Automation: Siri® allows you to integrate your hot tub into broader automation routines, improving your overall smart home experience. Whether it’s scheduling usage or adjusting settings, you can set your spa to adapt to your needs automatically.
3. Remote Control: With Siri® and your SmartTub® System, you can control your hot tub even when you’re not at home. For example, if you’re heading home from a long weekend away and want to unwind when you get home, you can start heating up your spa on your way back for the ultimate relaxation experience.
4. Energy Management: By monitoring and adjusting your hot tub’s settings with Siri®, you can ensure that it operates efficiently, saving both energy and money.

Integrating Siri® with your Jacuzzi® SmartTub® System enhances your hot tub experience by offering next-level convenience and control. With simple voice commands, you can adjust the temperature, activate jets, control lighting, and even monitor energy usage—all without lifting a finger.

By following the steps outlined in this guide, you’ll be able to quickly connect your hot tub to Siri®, set up your desired routines, and enjoy a seamless, nearly hands-free spa experience. Whether you’re lounging by the pool or relaxing indoors, control of your next hydrotherapy experience is just a voice command away.
