Something I've always struggled with i'm trying to do right in my new place.
I created VDs for each of my rooms. "On" runs an event in that room setting several lights to set levels.... "Off" does the Opposite. I have the VD setup with voice command that works perfectly with Alexa.
But what happens when, for example, someone turns on a light using a wall switch in that room - say the overhead light in the kitchen?
So when I say, "Alexa, turn off the kitchen lights", nothing happens because the actual VD is still OFF. Just the one light was turned on manually.
One way would be to Not use VDs, and just have voice commands for both of the events. Doesn't seem the right way to me - is there a better/easier way of doing this?
thanks
