Quote from: Grandpa Techie on March 20, 2020, 06:18:25 pm I used an Alexa Routine to have my Amazon Smart Plug turn ON the heat in my chair (same as a light) for a fixed amount of time. Device B says 'timer on device A cancelled'. Timer goes off, device listens to 'Alexa stop', but doesnt turn off the alarm. This same routine will probably work with any brand of smart plugs. I have two devices and this happens: Set timer on device A. Good shout, this would be useful where someone has got an Echo Wall Clock paired with an Alexa device, but another device in an adjacent room picks up. 'Alexa, turn off the timer in the kitchen', speaking to the device in the living room. If you are turning on anything other than light, I would suggest testing your routine with a light connected to your Amazon Smart Plug. I would also appriciate, if I can switch of an alarm in da different room, e.g. When I run Alexa as a service I hear sound from my playback device connected to this mic array. Create a routine that turns the lights off. Use a sleep timer to control your lights. My playback device was connected to the 3.5mm Jack outlet on the same mic array. Here are 5 ways to make Alexa turn off lights after a certain time: Use smart bulbs and smart switches. WHEN THIS HAPPENS: “Alexa, turn on chair heat”ġ) Smart Home, Lights, Chair Plug, Next, Power: OnĢ) Alexa Say, “Chair heat has been turned on”Ĥ) Smart Home, Lights, Chair Plug, Next, Power: Power: Offĥ) Alexa Say “Chair heat has been turned off” You specify the timer duration and what happens when the timer expires. I use Respeaker USB mic array (with 7PDM microphones) for this Alexa setup. ROUTINE NAME: “Turn on my chair heat for 30 minutes” To create a Routine, I went to the Alexa App main menu and selected ”Routines” then selected the “+” in the top right of the screen.

Then I changed the Amazon Smart Plug to Type = Light. (The chair heat plugs into an electrical outlet, so I inserted the Amazon Smart Plug between the chair heat plug and the electrical outlet.)Īfter setting up your Amazon Smart Plug, I renamed the smart plug to something meaningful. Turn your Alexa device off, unplug it, wait three minutes, and then plug it in and turn it on again. Note: Some voice commands are only available in select languages and marketplaces. While there is no default volume on Alexa, each device can have a default volume for Alexa alarms, timers, and notifications different from the devices regular volume. Also ensure that AM hasn’t been chosen instead of PM and vice versa. Use your voice to create, manage, and cancel timers. I used an Alexa Routine to have my Amazon Smart Plug turn ON the heat in my chair (same as a light) for a fixed amount of time. Open the alarm settings and make sure that your alarm is set for the correct time and the correct day.
