I have a “bedtime” routine, which I normally call from the Lounge Echo. This routine will give me the weather, a fact of the day, and turn the lights off after a period of time.
I can get the output to either the Lounge or the Kitchen Echo, is there any way to make it output to both?
Also, for the weather, I want tomorrow’s weather. I have DarkSky skill, how can I incorporate tomorrow’s weather in a routine?

Hi Ian,
I’m Daniel, I work with Katherine to answer questions for Voicebrew.
In regard to your first question, I do not believe that’s possible. From what I have read, only music is supported for multi-room audio. However, you can test this creating a group called “Downstairs”, then adding “Kitchen” and “Lounge” to that group. Then say “Alexa, play my bedtime routine Downstairs.” It may not work but it’s worth testing.
For the weather using Dark Sky, routines do not support invoking specific questions in Skills that way. To get tomorrow’s weather, you must say “Alexa……ask Big Sky for the weather tomorrow.”
