With this instructable, I'll guide you to configure and control your roller shutters and your ambient lights, connected to the Shelly 2.5 devices, using your voice and Amazon Alexa; but if you have also a Shelly Door/Window sensor, I'll guide you to define a scene to automatically control roller shutters or lights as a function of the day time and the main door change status.

Step 2: Project Executive Summary

    Layout, Devices and Functionalities

    • Entering into the house, the Shelly door sensor combined to the day time, will launch a scene that open the roller shutters OR turn on the lights in the lounge room.
    • Saying to Alexa "Good night", Alexa will close all the roller shutters, turn off all the lounge lights, turn ON the corridor Led (and turn it off after 10m), turn on the bedroom lights.
    • Saying to Alexa "Good morning", Alexa will open bedroom, lounge and kitchen roller shutters.
