Introduction: Home Automation: Roller Shutters, Lights, Scenes
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.
