I've found what I think is a serious problem when controlling scenes using Alexa and I assume Google as well.
The BUG, well maybe more of a request:
When Alexa activates an event there isn't any way to test conditions to see if you want the event to actually preform its function as you can when an event calls an event.
Example, If I have a device that when you push the button once goes to state "A" and when you press it again it goes to state "B" I may want to test its current state before actually triggering the action. Such a device would be a garage door. If the door is already closed you don't want to trigger the relay that will push the button because if you do the door will open.
The FIX:
Add a check box next to the Voice Command field which is marked "Execute only if conditions are true" This would be the equivalent to the flag when an event calls an event. Then you can add conditions to control if the event should execute.
