How to set up a morning or bedtime routine on your voice assistant
Routines let you group multiple commands together so one voice command or time trigger runs them all. Set them up in your voice assistant's app in about 5 minutes. You'll pick the time or trigger phrase, then add the actions you want to happen.
A routine is like a shortcut for your smart home. Instead of saying five different commands, you say one phrase or let time trigger it automatically. You set up routines in your voice assistant's app, pick when they happen (time of day or voice command), and add the actions you want. Like turning on lights, starting music, or adjusting temperature. It saves time and makes your home feel smarter.

Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Adding devices to the routine that aren't already set up and connected. Make sure they work on their own first
- Using a trigger phrase that's too similar to other Alexa commands. Pick something unique
- Expecting the routine to run if your hub is unplugged or offline. Keep the hub powered on
Signs you need professional help
- Your routine won't save or keeps disappearing Devices work individually but not when called from a routine You can't find the Routines section in your app
