I want Alexa to turn on the bedroom heater at 8 PM, then turn off the same device at 6 AM.
Right now, I have two separate routines for those times, one for on and one for off.
I thought a workaround would be to trigger the device on, then “wait” for 10 hours. Unfortunately, wait is limited to 4 hours.
Is there any way to create a single routine with two clock-based triggers?

Hi David,

I really like your question because it prompted me to do some experimentation. In trying to re-create your situation, I noticed the maximum of 4 hours of wait time.
The best way to accomplish your goal would be using multiple “Wait” windows in the same routine. You could create a 4 hour “wait”, then a 2nd 4 hour “wait”, then a 2 hour “wait”.

Give it a try and see how it works for you!
