I love home automation and when I got an Alexa device as a gift, I loved the fact I could create Alexa Routines to do other things at certain times of the day eg Wake me up and play the radio. Alexa can also control other devices like power plugs, I wanted to integrate these into my existing home automation system. This is possible through smart doorbell triggers but the system needs to be running all of the time. The yearly membership fee simply pays to keep the system running and there is a free 7-day trial so you can explore whether its useful to you. If your new to home automation, then check out my integration with IFTTT.com, they enable integrations with weather monitoring websites which means you could create an routine which makes an announcement when its going to rain. There are so much more you can create we would love to hear what you build! Thanks
