With a pre-set command, Amazon Alexa can automatically perform multiple actions, such as checking the weather and turning on music. Mercator Ikuü products and scenes can be included in these routines, which can be configured using the Amazon Alexa app ().

To create an Alexa routine using Mercator Ikuü products and scenes, your Mercator Ikuü account must be linked to the Amazon Alexa app. Click here to learn how to do this.
