Add button to desktop that will trigger an Alexa routine.
I'm very new to Rainmeter and want to do something I find how. I want to add an icon to my dock skin that will run an Alexa routine, (turn on lights for example). What would I have to do in order to do this?

First, what an Alexa routine is, because me personally at least have no idea? And when would you like to execute / run the routine? When you click the added icon? Because it's not entirely clear.photonslayer wrote: ↑September 24th, 2022, 9:05 pm I want to add an icon to my dock skin that will run an Alexa routine, (turn on lights for example).

First there should be a way to run such routines from the command line or PowerShell (like running Alexa with arguments / parameters, for example), then, depending on the approach, using either a RunCommand measure or executing the above directly in a bang should do.photonslayer wrote: ↑September 24th, 2022, 9:05 pm I'm very new to Rainmeter and want to do something I find how.
