Announce on Alexa when a refrigerator door is left open

Connect

How this automation works

Receive an audible alert through Alexa when your refrigerator door has been left open too long. This Applet runs when your GE Appliances Refrigerator detects a door left open for 18 minutes, then triggers a Voice Monkey announcement on your Alexa device. Perfect for preventing food spoilage and keeping your kitchen smartly monitored.
