Do you own an Alexa? Are you into home automation? Would you like to trigger Alexa Routines via IFTTT, a web browser, or a RESTful API? If you find these questions more intriguing than confusing, read on!
Virtual Buttons combines an Alexa Smart Home skill with a REST API, allowing you to trigger Alex Routines based on just about anything -- an incoming tweet, a weather alert, a server error, or even an actual button such as the Flic 2 Smart Button. It's all up to your imagination.
