How this automation works

Get notified through Alexa whenever your Husqvarna Automower begins mowing. The Applet runs when your Automower starts its mowing session and sends a voice announcement to your selected Alexa device. Perfect for keeping track of your lawn care routine without checking the mower manually. Customize the message to fit your tone.
