inovermyhead Posted January 7, 2021 Posted January 7, 2021 I would like to add the execution of a program to an Alexa routine. I see in the portal instructions that a program can be turned on (execute then statements) or off (execute the else statements). But when setting this up in the portal should the program be defined in the Alexa category as a scene or switch (presumably not as a light, outlet or device with open/close syntax)? Or does it matter?
bmercier Posted January 7, 2021 Posted January 7, 2021 That can be any of those, except perhaps the device with open/close syntax, this one I'm not sure. A sensor won't work for sure as it can't be controlled. I would be cautious about "light" though. I think you can ask Alexa to turn off all the lights, and if it is categorized as a light, then Alexa would include it in the devices to turn off. But strictly from a routine perspective, it makes no differences.
