Amazon’s Alexa app allows you to create routines, which will turn on smart home devices or get news, traffic, and weather info either at a certain time or when you say a specific phrase to an Alexa-enabled device (such as the Echo or Echo Dot). Here’s how to set up a routine.
1. Open the Alexa app, open the side menu (by pressing the three bars in the upper left-hand corner), and select Routines.
2. Select Create Routine.
3. Create a trigger. Select “When This Happens.”
