Echo scene and programs

[danncas]

How does one get the echo to run a scene or a program. I have devices linked and can turn on and of brighten and dim. I would like to run a program called all off. And a few others. I also would like to turn on and off scenes. All of these are in My ISy and some are program to key pad. I know you can link non load bearing keys on keypad. So the question is can I tell it to run a scan or program

Hi danncas,

 

In the portal where you added devices, click on Scene or Program buttons instead. The rest should be self explanatory.

 

With kind regards,

Michel

I found I had to use the Else section of my All Off program so that I could use this:

 

"Alexa. Turn OFF all lights"

There are three things that you can do that involve "running a program." You can run the If section, the Then or the Else.

 

The latter two are easy. Tell Alexa to turn on the program_name to run Then and turn off the program_name to run Else. To run the program condition(s), ask Alexa to tell Izzy to run the program_name.
