Run an Alexa routine when you press the button
How this automation works
Automate your home by triggering Alexa routines based on your vehicle’s movements. This Applet runs when your car enters a designated Bouncie geo-circle, sending an action to your Alexa device via mkZense. It’s great for smart home automation—like turning on lights or announcing arrivals when someone pulls into the driveway. Note: Users select their Alexa routine and geo-circle upon setup.
