15 Unique Alexa Routine Ideas!
An Alexa morning routine can make getting out of bed a lot easier. The more smart devices you have connected to Alexa, the more you can automate your daily routine. For example, you can gradually increase the brightness of your smart lights and start your day with a playlist followed by your own Alexa flash briefing. End your routine by having Alexa turn off the lights and adjust the thermostat when you leave the house. Set your morning routine to run at the same time every morning, but remember to exclude weekends!
If you have smart sensors (or Alexa-compatible devices with motion detectors) installed throughout your home, Alexa can serve as a solid security system. For example, you can have Alexa alert you when someone triggers motion-sensor lights or tries to open a window. Amazon's Ring doorbell integrates with Alexa, so you can have Alexa display the camera feed on your Echo Show screen when someone is at your door. Just remember to enable Alexa Guard before you leave the house so you can keep an ear out for intruders while you're away.
Want to be greeted with a comfortable home when you get home from work? Program Alexa to adjust the thermostat, turn on the lights, and preheat your Amazon smart oven before you even walk through the door. You can also set up motion detectors and have Alexa turn on lights, fans, or other devices when you walk into a room. Have a flair for the dramatic? Have Alexa play your theme song as you walk through the front door to let everyone know you’re home.
