How to Trigger an Alexa Routine from a Switch

In the students' group, a question came up: how do you trigger an Alexa routine from a switch?

This need arises when you have devices such as Wi-Fi air conditioners, Wi-Fi TVs or appliances from other brands that do not use the Tuya platform, the most popular in Brazil.

Of course, you can call a routine by voice and, within that routine, run scenes on the Tuya platform without having to press any button.

But when the command comes from the switch, the logic is reversed: the button is the trigger for the Alexa routine, and the actions can be on any device Alexa controls, whatever the brand.

In this video, I show QA's smart switch activating an Alexa routine that turns off a Samsung Wi-Fi air conditioner, integrated through SmartThings.
