Minger Dream Color LEDs

[smwein (Steven Weinstein)]

So I got some Minger Dream Color LEDs that work with Alexa. I’m trying to figure out a way to have a switch that will send a command to Alexa silently that way I can control via Smartthings. Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks

As long as the device shows up in an Amazon routine ( not a SmartThings routine) , you can use the following method. (The topic title is a clickable link)

FAQ: Can I trigger an Echo Action without Speaking to It?

Breaking News!!! As of August 2018, a SmartThings-connected Contact or Motion Sensor can now trigger an Amazon echo routine if you live in the US, Canada, or the UK !!! Amazon has now added the ability for some sensors to trigger an Amazon echo routine (not a smartthings routine), which does let you trigger other smart home devices which are not connected to SmartThings without having to speak an echo command! Or you can set it up so that your echo devices will speak a customized phrase, play a doorbell chime, or various other sound effects. And even better, that contact sensor can be a virtual contact sensor. And although it’s a bit tricky, a community member has created an edge driver that will create BOTH a virtual switch and a virtual sensor and keep the pair in synch. So…

You need one routine to turn it off and a separate routine to turn it on.

It’s awkward, but if you want to you can have even more routines for different dimming levels, etc.

There might be another way as well, it just depends on the exact model. See the following FAQ (this is a clickable link)

FAQ: WIFI Devices in ST? How can I integrate a WiFi or Bluetooth device that isn’t listed in the SmartThings app?

Is there any way to get WIFI devices, such as a plug, to list in ST? I currently have 3 WIFI plugs that are running off Alexa, but I would like to get them into ST somehow so I can include them in my automations, plus it would be nice to have everything in one place and feed to my ActionTiles. Thank you.
