How this automation works

Control both your Alexa routines and Sengled lights with a single web request. This Applet runs whenever your Webhook event fires, activating your chosen Alexa Voice Monkey and toggling selected Sengled lights. Perfect for automating smart home scenes or syncing device actions across platforms. Note: This requires a reachable webhook endpoint (URL).
