Full description
Run your Alexa routines without repeating the same command every time. Buttons for Alexa turns the Alexa commands you already use into quick Android shortcuts. Record the command once, then run it later from a home-screen widget, Android Auto, the app itself, Tasker or a compatible automation. Get started in a few steps 1. Create the routine you want in the official Alexa app. 2. Sign in with your Amazon account in Buttons for Alexa. 3. Record the audio command that triggers the routine. 4. Add a widget or choose another way to launch it. Use it for the routines you reach for every day: open the gate or garage, turn lights on or off, start Bedtime, switch on heating or air conditioning, run an “I’m home” routine, or build a simple control panel on an Android tablet. Widgets Create customizable home-screen buttons for your saved Alexa routines. Choose the actions you use most and keep them one tap away. Android Auto Launch your saved Alexa routines directly from Android Auto. Useful for actions such as opening the gate, turning on driveway lights or preparing the house before you arrive. Automation Use the dedicated Tasker integration and external Android intents to connect saved Alexa commands to compatible automation workflows. This can include NFC tags, shortcuts, smartwatch actions, Google Home setups that invoke the provided intents, events or other compatible Android automation tools. Optional follow-up answer Some Alexa commands need a second reply. In Advanced settings, “Optional answer to Alexa” lets you save a predefined follow-up such as a PIN, name or time and send it after the first command when needed. More features • customizable widget icon, text and colors • On/Off commands • Labels to run multiple independent routines together • run saved commands directly from the app • visual shortcuts that can also be useful when repeating voice commands is inconvenient or difficult Pro license • remove ads • On/Off commands • Tasker support • unlimited widget execution • run saved commands from the app home screen • Labels for launching multiple routines with one tap Buttons for Alexa is an independent third-party app and works alongside the official Alexa app. Disclaimer: Amazon, Alexa, and all related logos are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates.
