Announce with Alexa when MyQ garage door opens
How this automation works
Get instant control of your Alexa routines when a Phyn alert is detected. This Applet runs whenever Phyn identifies a water-related issue such as a leak or water detection, then triggers your selected Alexa Voice Monkey. Perfect for automating Alexa announcements or responses to water leak alerts at home. Customize the message to fit your tone.
