Alternatives to IFTTT?

[Vicent13 0]

Hi,

 

I am using IFTTT to make Alexa say something like "Alarm activated" when I push "The Button", or to say it is disarmed when I push it two times. By now, it works more or less OK in the free version but I have received that, starting May 23rd, I will be able to have just 2 templates instead of four/five I use to have.

 

Do you know any alternative to this?

 

Thanks.

Unfortunately, free plans are replaced by limited ones. I've been playing around with this recently and found that I'll have to make do with two actions on IFTTT.

There is a pretty nice skill that I found which creates virtual Doorbells in Alexa that can be called by a URL.

It's working really nicely for me to connect my Doorbird to Alexa annoucements directly with a simple HTTPs post. Alternatively you can create virtual Motion Sensors in Fibaro and use some basic LAU code to create a virtual Alexa trigger from Fibaro? The latter keeps things all in native Fibaro scope and the default Alexa functionality at least?

That's a good ponit. Maybe I will go through it too.
