How this automation works

Automate your smart home by triggering Alexa when your Google Nest Thermostat detects a temperature rise beyond your chosen limit. This Applet runs whenever the temperature crosses the threshold you set and instantly sends a routine action to Alexa. Perfect for managing climate-related automations and keeping comfort levels in check across connected devices.
