Yes, you can. Amazon have introduced a feature which makes it possible to set up an Alexa Routine to make Alexa perform a requested action at a specific time. For example, this is a great way to wake up at 07:00 to ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 4. Here’s how to do just that (just change the time and station to suit you):
- Navigate to 'Routines' in the Alexa app
- Tap '+' in the top-right corner
- Tap 'Enter Routine name' and add a name for the routine e.g. "Radio 4 alarm"
- Tap 'When this happens,' then select 'Schedule' and set the time to 07:00
- Choose the frequency, i.e. daily, weekdays etc.
- Tap 'Add action' and select 'Customised'
- Enter "Play ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 4"
- Tap 'Next,' then 'Save'
- Finally, confirm the device you want this to happen on
As you can set up multiple routines, be creative and wake up to a different station each day!
While this should work, we recommend you use a dedicated alarm for when you really have to get up (for an appointment or a flight, etc). External problems, like an internet issue or power outage, could cause a routine to fail.
