Great app but you have to use Scenes and Routines for Alexa – Somfy myLink Review

I don’t understand all the bad reviews, this app and the whole MyLink system (integrated with Alexa and IFTTT) is working flawlessly for me. First, use MyLink to create a Scene for each desired state of your Somfy devices, like “Open Blinds”. This is very powerful because a Scene can control multiple Somfy devices all at once. Next go to Integration -> Amazon Alexa which will walk you through enabling Alexa control. Now open Alexa and add the Somfy MyLink skill, search for devices and your Somfy devices should get discovered along with your Scenes. IMPORTANT: you must now create a Routine in Alexa for each Scene, using a natural language trigger like “Open the blinds”. Now, you can just say “Alexa, Open the blinds” or whatever natural phrase you chose. Very powerful... a Scene can coordinate the movement of multiple Somfy devices, while an Alexa Routine can use a natural language trigger and also can control multiple Alexa devices (like turning on the lights when you close the blinds). Works great. Nice job Somfy!
