Announce with Alexa when MyQ garage door opens
How this automation works
Automatically update your Apilio variable and start an Alexa routine when your Aqara door or window sensor detects it is open. This Applet runs whenever the selected Aqara sensor reports an open state, updating a boolean in Apilio and triggering the specified Alexa Voice Monkey routine. Perfect for automating responses when a door or window opens in your smart home.
