How this automation works

Automate your smart home by triggering an Alexa Routine whenever your GE Dryer completes its cycle. This Applet runs each time your dryer sends an end-of-cycle event and presses your selected Virtual Button to start an Alexa Routine. Perfect for automatically getting notifications or starting other smart devices when laundry is ready.
