That has always been the greatest thing about this community… when someone wants to do something, they always find a way.
If you want to give up on the piston and all of the switches you can use EchoSistant.
You simply create your Room and choose all of the devices you want control and feedback for in it. You then create a Logic Block (shortcut) that can perform most of the common things that WebCoRe can do. You name the Logic Block and you are done.
If you name the Logic Block “Wake me up” for the room bedroom, you just say, Alexa, wake me up at 615 a.m. in the bedroom.
You can also say this… "Alexa, create an alarm and wake me up at 615 a.m. in the bedroom.
The first will run the Logic Block and perform all of the actions you configured at 615.
The second one will cause an actual Alexa Alarm to sound on the bedroom device at 615, as well as perform all of the actions you configured in the Logic Block.
You can create hundreds of room and each room can have hundreds of Logic Blocks
My system sounds an alarm at 8:30 a.m., turns off my fans, and turns on the lights in my bedroom. I tell Alexa to turn off the alarm and then I tell her , Alexa, I’m sleeping in and wake me up in 20 minutes.
She turns my fans back on, turns off the lights, and then wakes me up 20 minutes later.
