Executing Alexa Routine with Echo speaks in webCoRE


#1

I’m trying to program a button to stop my wife’s frustration when she tries to switch off the house with Alexa.

She always speaks to quick, or to quiet or for some other reason Alexa doesn’t hear her and then my wife begins to shout…it was a novelty at first!

I need to execute a routine on Alexa because there are some smart devices which Alexa controls but aren’t ST compatible.

How do I execute a routine using the Echo Speaks App in a Piston? Is it even possible?

Many thanks in advance

You can create a simulated switch and make it available to Alexa. Then just flip the switch and set up a routine in Alexa to respond. You can include in the response turning the switch back off.
