I checked out loads of videos promising to explain how to do this. I discovered most of them are only interested in showing off how toned their bodies are at 5am when they wake up, then go through their morning routine until they need Alexa about 7 minutes in. By his time I gave up. And then I found your video: clear information from the start, simply described, and super helpful. Thank you! (I have to add that the menu for Add Device, etc. on my app is on the bottom right under "More", but everything else is the same.)

@@ChardTheTechGuy Sure. It's a 3rd gen Echo Dot and the latest version of the Alexa app. The TV is a Vizio with Smart Cast and Alexa is connected to the TV. I'm using the command Turn on TV. I'd like to keep it all in a routine without using a hub but I'm not sure that can be done. Alexa has no trouble running the TV, changing the volume, input and so on.

Okay I see, I control my TV with a external device Broadlink RM Mini3 (Control Your TV With Alexa - kzitem.info/news/bejne/2mmdsZaMjnmZlZg ) because my TV don't have Alexa capabilities. The Broadlink RM Mini3 gives me a lot of Alexa skill-set like changing the volume, turn on & off and even routines. I found this for you How to Use Amazon Alexa Devices with your SmartCast TV support.vizio.com/s/article/Alexa-SmartCast-Display?language=en_US Does your TV showed up as a Device in the Alexa App? Another thing I want to mention some of my devices have limit routine options, not sure if that's a shortcoming of Amazon or the third part company like Vizio for instance.

@ChardTheTechGuy

When you choose the Music & Media after you Select provider, below that is Duration set a timer for how long you want the music to play. But you are probably looking for specific time feature, sorry that's not currently available.

M Milyo You'll probably have to create a separate routine for that light to turn off if doing it through the Alexa app. Just create it the same way you did to get the light to power on but toggle to the power off option for the device.

Chad really liked your presentation techniques. I’m older and a bit tech challenged. But I’ve bred stumbling over how to automate turn on guard every night at a specific time and off in the morning at a certain time every day. I don’t want to have to remember to do it as often I don’t remember. Then later I may wish to override the guard routines by taking a trip for a week or so and having it on till I come home and turn it off. Any ideas for this fix?

I will be doing a video on this routine, it could be used for other use cases. Thanks
