Would love to see a vs video Owen. Alexa vs other brands etc. It would also be neat to see a video on your favourite Alexa features and how they can impact your life! By the way, that thumbnail is killer!
I’ve made a a huge morning routine a year ago and everyone thinks I’m weird but cool, I feel so at home that I found this channel! I even have a essential oil diffuser come on 10 minutes before I wake up to help boost my mood
@@lineb.djursaa7290 6:20 light rain sounds come on level 2, salt lamp on, … 6:30 a custom voice message comes on , level three, three more lamps on, music is now upbeat, then 10. Inured later the Alexa in the washroom turns on for music and lights to go shower, then piano 30 minutes later beside where I read . So the music moves through the condo, lights are programmed, motivational voice and custom message for wake up time , natural sounds to wake up to ! Gradual light source
Currently my iphone is supposed to wake me up.......but it usually turns into my 4 year old screaming in my face WAKE up.......usually around 6am. Ugh. I need something more soothing like this Owen haha! Awesome series!
I know you said make your own routines, but has anyone put two and two together and come up with routine templates you can download to your Alexa? I think there’d be a huge market.
The 'Big Fart' skill on that list would also be a good one for waking up too. These are informational videos, I also like other ones where you explain the integration between Alexa and Ring. You got yourself a new subscriber and thanks for sharing your ideas.
By the way, if you don't want to have to change the routine time everytime you want a lie-in, you can also set it to trigger when an alarm is dismissed between certain hours. If you like to snooze your alarm, you can also set it so that it won't repeat the routine if it is activated within X minutes of the last time
I set up a routine with Light up the bulb, say hello, give date and hour, give weather, give calendar. I don't know why but It only does the first 2 actions. I tried to change the order but It doesn't matter, only the first 2 actions are done. Any clues ?
Doh, in Canada we don't have the ramp up feature. So I have to create wake up routines in intervals. At least this way I can make her go from a comforting sweet girlfriend tone....to a a**face get out of bed tone.
I have tooo many routines and it alarms set up from when I was first learning. You explained the Alarm vs Routine vs Skills sooooo clearly! I’ve watched others and not understood that concept before. I do have a question.. I have one routine I really like. It plays a play list from Apple Music but I can’t for the life of me know how I did it haha. One of the issues I think I have is when I set up an alarm it offers choices of sounds ie classic alarm sounds AND music. But it legit just says “music” So it’s guess work Today I woke up to screaming death con rock music with a creepy dude mimicking Satan. Ok soo maybe that overlapped with a dream or something But still not how I want to wake up. Question is… how do I tell Alexa what music I want to listen to for my alarms? Or do I just skip this “alarm” and use routine instead ?
love the wake up video but have a question so I am using amazon cube as alarm clock and using i hope a flic 2 button to turn off alarm with phone not hub can i do this ;-) i dont see it in my routines its all grayed out will not allow me to use the button
9:53 It could have been worse! You could be waking up to the windows 98 startup sound at max volume on an Alexa device! Just be glad Amazon didn't give you the sound customization just yet, or else someone is gonna be waking up the next morning to the extremely loud windows 98 startup sound in the morning! And it sure isn't going to be me! Hahahaha!
For the skills like the nature/birds sounds, my alexa asks before playing if I would like her to play the nature sounds. Kinda annoying in the morning. Could it be an issue with the settings??
in the alexa app i’m trying to set a different sound for my alarm within the app but when i click on a certain sound i cant hear it in the app or on my echo dot?
@@lifeautomated2209 so actually i think it might be an issue within the app? my sister also has an echo dot and can’t hear any alarm sounds when creating an alarm
Comment below: what Alexa videos or tips do you want you to hear? Let me know and I’ll add those videos to my schedule.
Would love to see a vs video Owen. Alexa vs other brands etc. It would also be neat to see a video on your favourite Alexa features and how they can impact your life!

My Alexa loves watching your show and talking back to you
Bwahahaha. I need to have my editor start bleeping out when I say ALEXA
I’ve made a a huge morning routine a year ago and everyone thinks I’m weird but cool, I feel so at home that I found this channel! I even have a essential oil diffuser come on 10 minutes before I wake up to help boost my mood
I love it
Wow that's cool, didn't know you could do that! What else do you have in your routine?

How do you not have more subscribers? Your video editing skills rock and I love your delivery and ideas. Keep the videos coming please !!
Thank you! I’m sure the subscribers will come in time. Meanwhile, I’m gonna keep making great videos. Appreciate you!
This is awesome! Up till now I only use mine for music... but I think I've been missing the boat on this. Very cool! 😀
Maybe best Alexa routines for boomers would be a good title in your tech silo!!
@@lifeautomated2209 great idea!
I love that bird chirping, that would be such a nice way to wake up!

Hey very cool - Thanks! We’ve got more videos coming out soon. Really digging into Alexa and ring and I think you’ll like them!
I set the big fart skill to play on my 10 yo alarm wake up routine
@@transflowmation6676 nothing better than that to get your day going... 😆
super helpful!! thanks

My Echo 4 comes Tuesday, so excited over this. :-)
Epic
Excellent video! You can make your own wake-up routine by following the steps here on screen.
Thanks Chris! Great to see you on the new channel

0:26 my Alexa responded when you said that 😂
My wake up routine involves my chihuahua's tongue licking my face until I wake up. It works well, no need for any device.
Thank you very helpful
You’re welcome!
how do you run the routine? does it happen automatically? or do you have to tell alexa to run it everynight?
Doh, in Canada we don't have the ramp up feature. So I have to create wake up routines in intervals. At least this way I can make her go from a comforting sweet girlfriend tone....to a a**face get out of bed tone.

But still not how I want to wake up. Question is… how do I tell Alexa what music I want to listen to for my alarms?

What kind of light bulbs should I get for Alexa? Like is there any specific light bulbs to connect to my Alexa?
Would it still work if I set up my phone with Alexa then completely shut off my phone before I sleep
Hey buddy, can this be done with the google nest mini?
Thanks in advance!
The nest is a thermostat. I don’t think it has speaker capabilities
@@lifeautomated2209 I just bought it and it also has routines, which enabled me to do the same thing as you did with Alexa
unfortunately the ramp up option isnt available in germany. Has someone figured something else out?
My ramp up is def not working either. Are you getting an error message?
love the wake up video but have a question so I am using amazon cube as alarm clock and using i hope a flic 2 button to turn off alarm with phone not hub can i do this ;-) i dont see it in my routines its all grayed out will not allow me to use the button
It might be that you have to re order the operation in amazing routines. Ping me back if it’s not working and I’ll help

Yes this is a New thing and it SUCKS!! I’m trying to find a new app for nature sounds
will the alarm work for my apple music playlist
Yes! There’s so much you can do with alarms
so how do you end all these skills-actions once you wake up?
You can say, Alexa, go home.
Where’s your link to the skills list?
Yes just posted above!
I don’t see it either
But how do you tell her verbally to set a continuous wake up call at a certain time.
Great video O Dawg.
Love your face brother. Mean it 👊
in the alexa app i’m trying to set a different sound for my alarm within the app but when i click on a certain sound i cant hear it in the app or on my echo dot?
What’s the sound? It might be too long or the file is too big.
@@lifeautomated2209 so actually i think it might be an issue within the app? my sister also has an echo dot and can’t hear any alarm sounds when creating an alarm
i did everything right typed in my music for spotify even linked it up and says my spotify account isnt linked
Oh what?! We gotta fix that. Is it working now?
I did all your steps and it works up until it plays Here comes the Sun, it does ramp up the light but it stops there
If the music doesn’t work try a different song or choosing a different provider
@@lifeautomated2209 thank you, Alexa play’s the song “ Here comes the Sun”. But stops Street that and doesn’t continue With the routine!!!!
i just wanted the music thank you the rest i figured out on my own
Great so glad to hear it
Hey, dum dum - don't say the "alexa" word in your videos!!!
Bwahahaha! Touché
