Run an Alexa routine when you press the button
How this automation works
Automate your Alexa routines based on your LightwaveRF smart sockets. This Applet runs whenever a selected LightwaveRF socket is switched on and sends an action to trigger a routine on your Alexa device. Great for adding voice-controlled or automated routines that respond to your home’s power usage.
