<div dir="ltr"><div>You might consider turning over the light control to alexa. I use Alexa to turn on and turn off lights at various times and also use Alexa to turn off my shop compressor every night at 10pm. I'm not sure if Alexa can tell you if something is turned on but I wouldn't be surprised if the feature is available. I also use Alexa to open and close my garage doors on voice request.</div><div><br></div><div>Brad</div><div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Jan 19, 2023 at 6:49 AM DAVID MASSEY <<a href="mailto:dave1massey@cs.com">dave1massey@cs.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
