I have an Alexa routine called “light the steps” If I say “Alexa, Light the steps” It sets my Sengled smart bulb to 100% Waits 2 Minutes Sets bulb back to 5%

I want to trigger this routine when my ring camera detects motion.

I tried just creating a routine, selecting the ring camera, and selected When: Detects Motion Action: Alexa, Light the steps. That didn’t work.

I did some research and read about “enable x routine”, but that doesn’t actually run it.

If I could achieve this some other way, I’m open, but I’m heavily invested in the Ring/Alexa ecosystems.

    I’ve wanted to do the same thing with Nest cameras. I have a ranch house, that I’m not at all of the time. My porch lights are linked through smart switches. If my Nest camera detects motion, I’d like for my porch lights to scare anyone that is on my porch. Not sure how to do this.
