Run an Alexa routine when you press the button
How this automation works
Trigger your Alexa device to perform a routine whenever motion is detected by your Energenie Mi|Home sensor. This Applet runs each time your selected motion sensor picks up movement and sends an Alexa action through mkZense. It's perfect for automating smart home responses like turning on lights or making announcements when someone enters a room.
