Alexa adds sensor awareness

I was successfully added a routine in Alexa, and it triggered correctly for the multisensor. Hower, the motion sensor detected event didn’t trigger the Alexa routine, I could see the device status changed to detected in Alexa, but action in the routine didn’t happen.

The active conversation about this feature is taking place in the following thread (this is a clickable link). It can be a bit quirky to get it set up. So read through that thread, and if it doesn’t give you any ideas, ask your question there.

Using Contact and Motion Sensors to Trigger Alexa Routines (DTH in post 97) (Official Amazon Feature)

I noticed the other day I can add contact and motion sensors in the ST Amazon Alexa app but so far all I can get is Alexa to give me the temp on each sensor (not state). I haven’t tried the routines yet.
