Alexa and a program

A program requires an IF and a THEN. How can you use a program with the portal and Alexa?

@silverton38 , Once the program, is added to the Amazon Echo Device list:

  • Turn On: “Alexa, turn on the kitchen light” - runs Then
  • Turn Off: “Alexa, turn off the kitchen light” - runs Else
  • Author

What Is in the IF line on the program?

 

@silverton38 , there is usually a condition in the IF line in a program that triggers the THEN in the program.. However, you could have a program with no IF and only THEN and ELSE. In this case, you could have Alexa run the THEN or ELSE or another program with an IF run the THEN and ELSE. Telling Alexa to turn the program on will run the THEN and telling Alexa to turn the program off with run the ELSE.

If
          Alexa hears the right words
Then
 ....

It worked great without an IF. I did not know that a program could exist without it.

 

Thank You
