In today's video we'll build upon the last video by creating an alarm clock, we'll set up some helpers to set the time and an on/off status in order to trigger an automation. This automation will open our blinds, turn on a light and play some music using the alexa media player integration we installed last video through an amazon echo. As always, thanks for watching and let me know what you guys would like to see in the future down below.
