Announce with Alexa when MyQ garage door opens
How this automation works
Get notified with an Alexa announcement when your refrigerator door is left open for too long. This Applet runs whenever your Home Connect fridge detects that the door has been open beyond the set threshold, prompting Alexa to speak your custom message. Perfect for preventing food spoilage and keeping your kitchen smartly monitored. Customize the message to fit your tone.
