This applet uses mkZense to trick Alexa into letting IFTTT run Alexa routines. For example, turn lights on (or run an Alexa routine) when you arrive home, but only after sunset. mkZense requires, at miminum, a free account which can run up to 3 routines. See documentation at https://mkzense.com/ to set it up. It works great once you get mkZense set up!
