Best Alexa Routines for Every Smarter Home

Alexa routines let you trigger multiple smart-home actions with a single command or event. Using the Alexa app you create routines by naming them, setting a trigger (voice, time, sensor), and adding one or more actions (up to 25 per routine). Examples include waking up, leaving home, movie time, workouts, pet care, and security alerts. Routines can broadcast messages, control lights, TVs, thermostats, start music or skills, and respond to sound or motion. You can enable Featured Routines from the app and combine multiple actions in one custom voice command.
