Can the echo turn off multiple scenes on one "alexa" command?

[RichTJ99]

Hi,

 

I have a few scenes programed into Alexa - Outside lights, kitchen lights, downstairs lights, upstairs lights, etc.

 

There are times when I am ready to head up that I will say:

 

Alexa, turn off the kitchen lights  (OK)

Alexa, turn off the downstairs lights (OK) 

Alexa, Turn off the outside lights (OK)

 

Is there a way to tell Alexa to turn off the kitchen lights and downstairs lights within one command?

 

Thanks,

Rich

Groups in the Alexa App?

Hi Rich,

 

Either Groups (as Teken suggested), or make a program and have Alexa execute that program.

 

With kind regards,

Michel

If you have plenty of link available, then you could create a scene with the device you want turned off as responders. I have a "front" scene for when I head to bed in the rear portion of our house, "Alexa, turn off the front."

Was just going to suggest the same thing as Stu, but he beat me to it.

 

Devices can be put into multiple scenes. In fact, it's common.

 

Create a new scene with kitchen, downstairs, and outside lights. Unfortunately, you cannot make "scenes of scenes" so you will have to add each light to the new scene.

 

In fact, in my old home, I had a scene for each room that consists of all of the lights in the REST of the home. The "D" button on every KPL showed the status of "rest of home" and pushing the D button would turn off all of the rest of the lights.

 

Lots of scenes!
