Run an Alexa routine when you press the button
How this automation works
Activate an Alexa routine automatically based on your Timberwolf Server object. This Applet runs when a selected boolean object on your Timberwolf Server changes to false. Perfect for automating voice routines or device control when specific IoT conditions are met. Note: This requires installation of the IFTTT app on the device where the Alexa routine runs.
