How this automation works

Control your Alexa routines and BG Home devices using Google Assistant voice commands. This Applet runs when you say a specific scene name to Google Assistant, which then triggers an Alexa routine and powers on selected BG Home devices. Perfect for automating home arrival or departure routines using your smart home platforms together.
