With JellyFish Lighting, you can surprise your Valentine as soon as they arrive home with a Valentine's Day lighting celebration. All you need to do is set a custom Alexa routine for when motion is detected in your driveway, or when your garage door opens. Follow the steps below to let your love shine on Valentine's Day.
Required:
An Amazon Echo device
Alexa app for iOS or Android
An Alexa-enabled camera, motion detector, or garage door
In this example, we'll set up a Valentine's Day pattern to turn on when motion is detected in the driveway. Before you get started, we recommend creating this routine on Valentine's Day after your Valentine leaves the house, because Alexa doesn't allow scheduling for specific calendar days.
Open your Alexa app & create a routine
Press the + button.
Select "Routine".
Set when your lights should turn on
Tap "Add an event".
Select "Smart Home".
Select your motion detector, camera, or garage door.
Select When Motion is Detected, or When Garage Door is Opened. Then tap "Next".
We recommend setting the time to be around when you expect your Valetine to come home. This way the routine won't accidentally trigger.
Select a custom action to play the Valentine's Day pattern
Press "Add an action".
Select "Custom" action.
Type in "ask JellyFish Lights to play Valentines Purple". Be sure to match this text exactly. Then tap "Next".
Select Alexa to hear from your Echo device
Press the "Save" button.
Select your Echo device and not "This mobile device". Your routine won't work if you don't select your Echo device.
Then tap "Done".
