  1. Tap More in the lower right corner

  7. If linked successfully, your imported scenes will show up here

NOTE: If you add a new routine in the tilt app, you can send commands to Alexa to run it without re-enabling your tilt account in the Alexa app

What to say to Alexa:

If I had a routine called "Open Shades" in the tilt app, I would run it by saying to Alexa or the Alexa App, "Alexa activate Open Shades" or "Alexa run Open Shades."
