We have long resisted getting an Echo. Never really saw a need. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxhB5YOMNj04GuoAosExygP4cH-dKeb4aB When we recently completed some remodeling in our home, we realized we had failed to add a switch to turn on a certain lamp across the room. We couldn't run new wiring (which would have been expensive if we could), so we got our first Echo which completely solved our problem for about $40 (Echo Dot and smart plug). We just ask Alexa to turn on/off that light. Heartily recommend it to solve this kind of conundrum!
Hello, thank you for posting this video. I used Guard Away feature for the randomization of lights on beginning at sunset. I noted that lights continued to be on throughout the day when they are no longer useful. How can I get Alexa to turn off all lights from 1 AM to sunset and still have Guard Away do its random light operation each day?
I get notified by my echo device when there's a weather alert like a tornado watch. Why can't I use a weather alert to trigger a routine to set up a color coded weather alert for deaf people who can't hear the audio. There are three categories of alerts, so the logical colors would be green for advisories, yellow for watches, and red for warnings.
Nick, hope you're still looking at the comments, I would love to find out how or figure out how to make certain of my smart bulbs flash or blink repetitively when my Ring doorbell motion sensor is triggered. Any ideas?
If it gives you the option, do the following: When this happens: Ring doorbell detects motion Action: Turn light on Action: Turn light off Action: Turn light on Action: Turn light off Unfortunately there is no “flash” or “blink” option at this time so you will have to create multiple actions for it to “flash/blink” the lights you choose
Can you help me create an automation? how can I make an automation to make the lightbulb change to a designated color When We flipped the switch. On-off-on? I like colorful lights. My family member wants white light. I would like to be able to program AI to change the light to a colorful light. And then we use the switch to turn it off. And back on and when it turns on it's a normal color.
You LOST ME! How will it shut off at sunrise? It only indicated to turn on @ sunset. Or does it automatically know to shut off by setting up for sunset?

Thanks, it’s good to see how to set up routines many thanks
ramp the brightness is not available outside US, that's frustrating.

Do I need an hub or can it run directly off alexa
Great vlog, thanks!
I bought some Amazon basic color changing bulbs. Online it says they preset “scenes” but I can’t figure them out.

That is a great question!!!!
When I go to set up this routine my Echo's are not listed under Smart Home. Is there a different step you took?
doesn't exist anymore
