The best Alexa Routines for every lifestyle
If you're unfamiliar with Alexa routines, they're a series of tasks that Alexa can do by only saying one phrase. For instance, instead of telling Alexa to turn off lights, turn on music, and turn on the TV, you can say something along the lines of "Alexa, movie time," and the assistant will perform all those tasks for you.
