How this automation works
Automate your smart home by running an Alexa Routine when your Sense Energy Monitor detects that a device has turned off. This Applet runs whenever the specified device, such as your washer, changes its state to off and then presses a Virtual Button connected to Alexa. Perfect for hands-free convenience or energy-efficient routines that respond to your devices automatically.

Create your own Sense Energy Monitor and Virtual Buttons workflow
Create custom workflows effortlessly by selecting triggers, queries, and actions. With IFTTT, it's simple: “If this” trigger happens, “then that” action follows. Streamline tasks and save time with automated workflows that work for you.
3 triggers, queries, and actions
Device turned On/Off
Polling trigger
Polling Applets run after IFTTT reaches out to the trigger service and finds a new trigger event. These trigger checks occur every 5 minutes for Pro and Pro+ users, and every hour for Free users.
This trigger fires every time a device in your house turns on or off.
History of device turned On/Off
Query
A query lets your Applet retrieve extra data that isn't included in the trigger, so that your automation can include more complete or useful information.
This query returns a list of when a device in your house turns on or off.
Push a Virtual Button
Action
An action is the task your Applet carries out after the trigger occurs. It defines what happens as the result of your automation and completes the workflow.
This action will trigger the Alexa Routine attached to your Virtual Button.
