Hi,
Great question! Katherine has made some great guides to help you set up exactly what you’re asking for using Routines in the Alexa app!
First, make sure you’ve downloaded and installed the Alexa app, then follow the links below.
To set up the lights the way you want to, you can create a simple recurring Alexa routine that turns the lights on and off .
Once you have a routine built to turn the lights on, you can build a second routine to turn the lights off at a certain time – or, just modify the first routine by adding a “wait” step that builds in a few hours. However, the maximum “wait” time for Alexa is 4 hours – so you may have to add more than one “wait” step to get your desired results.
Hopefully that gets you started with your lights!
