Title: Routine using two skills
Post by: StrangeDucks on February 06, 2021, 12:46:42 pm

I have a Schlage door lock and ADT. I can control both using Alexa. Is it possible to create a routine such that when I unlock the door, the alarm is disarmed at the same time?

You may be able to use a custom action.
See this page https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=GLXY7RFX3L5GH2VR

In your routine, the trigger will be when you unlock your Schlage. The action will be a custom action that does something like "ask ADT to disarm."

This assumes that your Schlage can trigger events in Alexa routines. And it also assumes that ADT can be disarmed using a custom action.
