Simplify Your Life with Alexa's New Timed Commands

Alexa
Do you know you can turn off or turn on lights using Alexa with a Timer?

You can now ask Alexa to turn your connected smart home devices on or off at a set amount of time.

You can say “Alexa, turn off the bedroom lamp in 15 minutes” or “Alexa, turn on the front porch at 5 p.m.” 

Previously, the device would just turn on or off.

This is a great upgrade to the Alexa digital home assistant.
