Just like we have notifications for on/off and on-for-x-time/off-for-x-time, it would be useful to be able to trigger Alexa routines based on these events.
For my specific use cases:
-
My living room TV screen goes black when idle for some time and it looks like it’s off, but the power consumed doesn’t really go down very much. I never realized this before installing Sense So, when “TV” has been on for 4 hours, have Alexa say “The TV is still on, is anybody watching it?”
-
I’m trying to determine what Heat 1 is, so when “Heat 1” turns on, have Alexa say “Heat 1 just turned on” so I can run around like a maniac to see what might have just turned on
