Here is a simple Alexa schdule time routine that will work with your smart lights, smart plugs, smart switches, etc., to turn them on & off at a certain time of the day or week.

The exact information I needed, thanks Chard for this presentation. To Amazon Alexa Developers: Four hour timer maximum needs to be extended.

About the 4 hours wait time: remember that you can add actions as many as you want. So, I wanted my lights turned on for 6 hours, so I added another 2 hours of wait option

I understand that I can make a routine to put a light on at sunset, but how can I make the routine to turn off the light at sunrise? If I use scheduling, it gives me only 4 hours which is not enough, since I would need for example from 7pm to 6am which is 11 hours. is it possible to choose sunset and sunrise? That would be perfect for me.

Since sunset is not always at the same time the best way would be to set two routines. Set one routine to bring them on at sunset and another routine to turn them off at midnight.

Thanks for the video. I have set routine for my outdoors lights to go on at sunset and a routine to go off at sunrise. The issue I’m having is that lights go on at sunset but sometime in the middle of the night the outdoor light are off. I then turn them back on and then they’ll go off at sunrise. I can’t figure out why it will not stay on until sunrise. Any suggestions? Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you
