How this automation works
Control your Govee light and Alexa together for automated lighting and voice updates. This Applet runs when your specified Webhook event is received and changes your Govee light color while triggering an Alexa announcement. Perfect for home automations or visual alerts using Webhooks and Alexa announcements. Note: This requires a reachable webhook endpoint (URL).
