Split AC with Alexa Support
Solution
My parents recently bought a Voltas one not sure about the model number, it’s. 3 star inverter one. The same model is available with Alexa support for an extra 2.5k (this was 32.5k)
The ac itself is very good, and Voltas was offering a 5 year warranty with it which covers all parts which is the main reason they went for it

don't want to order through Amazon. would try to visit one or two showrooms tomorrow. LG seems to have some nice models with wifi support. i already have their shitty app for the wifi enabled washing machine so it would be nice to avoid another app though i suppose once alexa is configured, i won't really need the official app.
Voltas definitely is worth considering because they are usually cheaper than the bigger brand and split inverter acs are very expensive. we mostly have Daikin around the house and it would probably end up costing 50K for the non-wifi version so planning to pick another brand this time around. would see if voltas has a showroom around my place.

Panasonic has all their inv ac wifi enabled based on Miraei technology. Wanted to go for it but since LG had better support, protection and my experience (washing machine) I decided to go for latter.
I was about to purchase wifi model, but my dealer told me that LG wifi models are not selling much due to issues. So dropped it and went for non wifi model.
So do check with your dealer if any issues.
A suggestion... Why don't go for a normal ac with a smart plug. It will also save you money. The smart plug is also voice enabled. I recall GeekyRanjit making a video about it. Do check it, if it suits you.

voice control plugs are expensive for heavy appliances plus they cannot control the temperature. just on and off i assume so it's not just as fun. alexa support is just a novelty i would like to have because it makes a lot of sense for air conditioner.

hehe yeah. same problem. unknown brand in family.
the ac i am replacing is a nearly 20 years old Hitachi. i personally consider it a lemon unit coz i don't think it ever worked properly. but dad says it only went bad after shifting from panchkula to gurgaon. another old ac in the house is a 15 year old carrier that is still working quite well.
i would probably end up with another Daikin. but would visit the LG showroom tomorrow and see if they have good offers in-store. Voltas and samsung showrooms are all in different directions so probably would end up visiting vijay sales as well which is in the same location.
