Start an Alexa Routine with one tap in the IFTTT app.
How this automation works
When your e-Connect security panel is disarmed, this applet automatically activates a selected Virtual Button to trigger connected Alexa Routines or other automations. It’s perfect for actions like turning on lights or adjusting home settings when you return. Choose which Virtual Button to trigger when enabling the applet.
