I haven't been able to get Alexa to water lawn when triggered. I'm connected to both Alexa and Rainmachine in the ifttt app. Rainmachine is enabled in the Alexa app. All my zones are shown in the device area of the Alexa app. Alexa's respnse - "I don't know that one". If anyone can help I would appreciate it.
Thanks
Tom

  Tomas, so do you try to control RainMachine with Alexa, but using ifttt.com channel, right?
  You linked them both, you created the ifttt.com trigger and you ask Alexa to start a zone or a program, right?
  Do your zones and program have short names? I mean your zones or programs do not have names like "Prg #2" or "Zone from the back side of my hose" either way, when you create the ifttt trigger you can choose the zone/program you want from the RainMachine zone/program list once your RainMachine is discovered by ifttt after you linked the RainMachine service with your remote access email account and your RainMachine password.
  
  That's what I did and it works very nicely.
  Tell me more about your ifttt setup and how did you create the applet.
  
  Josh
