Close your garage door with a button press
How this automation works
Automate your smart home by triggering Alexa and lights when your garage door closes. This Applet runs whenever your selected MyQ door finishes closing and then triggers an Alexa Voice Monkey routine and blinks a My Leviton light. Ideal for confirming garage security or announcing closures through Alexa.
