How to Customize and Automate Alexa Flash Briefings

Today's episode will provide you with step-by-step instruction to customize your Amazon Alexa Flash Briefings. Also, I will show you a Alexa routine using the "Custom" function that will allow have Alexa greet you in with a random good morning greeting and then present any number of automated flash briefings in a specific order. The briefing is played in the morning, within a predefined time frame and it starts to play following on a predetermined device trigger. In my routine, the morning greeting and flash briefings are started when I close my bathroom door, anytime between 6:00 am and 6:35 am. ~~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~~-~~-~-~~-~-~-~-~-~-~ 🔵 Source Info and Deals on Aeotec and SmartThings compatible devices: 🛒- Amazon Store: https://www.amazon.com/shop/budssmarthome ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~~-~~-~-~~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ 🔴 Buds Home Automation Website: https://www.budshomeautomation.com ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~~-~~-~-~~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ 🟢 Amazon Links for Aeotec/SmartThings Devices: 🛒- Aeotec/SmartThings Hub: https://amzn.to/3hG653a 🛒- Aeotec/SmartThings Motion Sensor: https://amzn.to/3AklqOt 🛒- Aeotec/SmartThings Window/Door Sensor: https://amzn.to/3hI48n2 🛒- Aeotec/SmartThings Water Leak Sensor: https://amzn.to/3klfHC8 🛒- Aeotec/SmartThings Camera: https://amzn.to/2XEjC4x 🛒- Aeotec/SmartThings Smart Plug: https://amzn.to/3lBpqE4 🛒- Aeotec/SmartThings Button: https://amzn.to/3kfDBiC 🛒- Aeotec/SmartThings Range Extender: https://amzn.to/3hDwLSn ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~~-~~-~-~~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ 🟠 How to support Bud's Smart Home Automation: 🛒- Shop my Amazon Store: https://www.budshomeautomation.com 💳 Buy me a Coffee via PayPal: https://paypal.me/BudsHomeAutomation ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~~-~~-~-~~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ 🛒 - Try Amazon Prime For Free - https://amzn.to/2ZY8pN3 🛒 - Try Audible For Free - https://amzn.to/3oAVVW5 🛒 - Try Amazon Music (90 Days) for FREE: https://amzn.to/2WM2klA ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~~-~~-~-~~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ 🟡 Music Selections used in this video include 🎵 - Background Music - "Above All" by Quincas Moreira 🎵 - Exit Music – “World_Map” by Jason Farnham ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~~-~~-~-~~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ AMAZON ASSOCIATE DISCLAIMER: The links in this description are affiliate links, which means if you click on a link to make a purchase I may receive a small commission.
