Hi Guys. I reset my ST after many years of it doing what i needed and just getting up to speed on stuff. I am using the SmartThings app not the classic. Is there away of adding Alexa devices to ST so that something like Sharp Tools can use Alexa? I seem to recall this was possible on the classic app. I know Alexa can tap in to contacts and play a notification if the sensor is open. However i need a bit more flexibility in that i only want the notification if the sensor has been open X minutes, Sharp Tools does this but it cant see Alexa or have found a way to do this.
Put whatever logic you want on the SmartThings side, including sharptools, but have the end result be turning on a virtual switch which is also a virtual sensor.
Then have that virtual sensor opening trigger the Alexa action you want by using an Alexa routine (not a smartthings routine).
It works, it’s just that you will have to set up one Alexa routine (not a smartthings routine) for each notification you want.
