IFTT Integration Questions

@Gil_Smit

So… I created an Automation Routine on the SmartThings App… and then I wanted to create an Applet in IFTT.

My problem… is when I am creating an applet… I can only turn on or off a single light at a time using IFTT, and I do not have access to any of the Routines.

For instance… I want to tell Google Assistant, “Goodnight” and then I want SmartThings to run my “Goodnight” Routine (ie. turn off lights, Lock Door, etc…)

Thanks!

Although at present echo can only request that smartthings turn devices on, off or dim, by using a virtual switch, you can tell echo to turn that switch on or off, and then have all kinds of things happen in smartthings. For example, if you want to have echo tu…
