Using ittt with echo

[Rotech]

When using ittt with echo, do you still have to say "tell homeseer to" what ever command? Or you say something else?

[tenholde]

You have to use the word "Trigger"

I use ittt with events. To run an Event named "Kitchen Lights Dim" I have to say: "Alexa trigger kitchen lights dim"

IFTTT naming

It should also be noted that the phrase you care about being recognized by Echo is specified in the IFTTT recipe. It is complete separate from the event name. You could have HS run the event "Unlock Door" whenever Echo hears "Wisconsin Moccasins" or "Elephants wear mom's pajamas". Combine to key presses and facial recognition and you have three factor authentication

Say trigger and then your command and then wait for IFTTT...

Echo -> Homeseer is much faster and more reliable is what I have seen so far.
