Run an Alexa routine when you press the button
How this automation works
Automate your Alexa device to respond when your garage door closes. This runs whenever your GarageWiFi & Gates sensor detects that the selected door has been closed, triggering an Alexa Actions by mkZense routine to start automatically. Perfect for enhancing your smart home automation with garage-based voice routines.
