I had a requirement to get the simple “Alexa, turn on the lights” working so that she didn’t just turn them on with whatever the last settings were. I was quite surprised at how easy it was so I thought I would share it.
Here’s my automation, just switch out the entity names and you are done
alias: Alexa - Living Room White
description: ""
trigger:
- platform: event
event_type: alexa_smart_home
event_data:
request:
namespace: Alexa.PowerController
name: TurnOn
entity_id: light.living_room_lights
condition: []
action:
- service: scene.turn_on
data: {}
target:
entity_id: scene.living_room_white_2
mode: single
