How this automation works
Control your connected Govee Home devices effortlessly. This Applet runs when a specific Govee sub-device is triggered and activates a linked Virtual Button to toggle your Alexa Routine. It’s perfect for quick smart home responses or automated routines between Govee Home and Alexa. Note: This requires installation of the IFTTT app.
