Hey Alexa, call my device
How this automation works
Get an instant call notification when a system alarm event is triggered. This Applet runs when a new alarm is generated from your M2M Services communicator and places a VoIP call to your device with a spoken message. Ideal for staying aware of important security events or system alerts even when away from your equipment. Note: Install the IFTTT app on the device(s) where you want to receive calls.
