Alexa Welcome Greeting Using Two SmartThings Virtual Edge Switches

In this episode I explain how to use the vEdge Creator to make virtual contact switches that are triggered on within SmartThings routines and then used within Alexa routines to trigger various actions. Within the video I provide information and an invitation link to the source the vEdge Creator device for your SmartThings App. You download the vEdge Creator application to your SmartThings or Aeotec Hub. Then by using your ST App you can create countless virtual switches like the ones that I am demonstrating today. If you need complete instructions for creating virtual switches, just click on the link: https://youtu.be/f_GHhipblNk After you viewed that video, come back this video for instruction for setting up the two routines presented in today’s video.
