Using Alexa for automation/triggers

There was a different server issue previously where the device list in the wyze app would be empty. When that was going on tinycam was still able to retrieve the camera feeds and I think streaming to fire/echo device still worked as well.

After going through a few sensor outages I changed it so all my sensor automations were either invisible (adjusting temperature) or turning on/off lights in non critical areas (garage/outside). I have no smart bulbs and went with smart light switches that function as dumb switches if internet or AWS has issues. Anytime there are sensor issues it is only mildly annoying for me.

I see reports of users with fully automated lighting that just goes haywire as the sensor states catch up. That would get annoying pretty fast.
