Home automation has become normal in Spain thanks to Amazon and Google. These two companies have developed a very complete and simple products ecosystem that also integrates with many other brands through protocols such as Matter. It is true that they do not have all the accessories that we might need to domote a house, but Being compatible with many brands at the end are the center of our home.
The point is that if we use many devices, of different brands, we are very likely to have to have many different applications installed on the mobile. It is best to connect those apps to Alexain the event that we use this assistant, or Google’s In the other case.
In this way we can Use all devices from a single application. And the best thing is that we can also sequence commands with a single order. They are routines, one of the least used but more useful functions of these assistants.

Since there are more and more people who work at home we wanted to create a simple routine that we use in a day -to -day basis, to activate some devices and get to work in the home office or in the stay in which we solve it. For this we will consider: air conditioning, music and lights.
In the application of Alexa what we have to do is go to the section Further, In the lower right corner, we click on Routines And there we click on the icon + of the upper right corner. Two sections will appear, the when It must be activated and the that It will be activated.
Work routine in Alexa

When we have to select Voice and put the phrase we want to pronounce. In our case it is “Alexa, time to work”. We can also make it activated at a specific schedule and even that the actuator is a device. We have also configured a routine called “Alexa, time to rest” What he does is turn everything out.
In the second section we have to select the devices that we want to be listed, or what we want to do. In our case we have caused three lights to be listed, that the intelligent plug to which the brazier is connected and the ceiling fan lamp is activated, controlled by a radiofrequency device.

It is also possible to make our Amazon device reproduce music With a playlist or a specific artist. Or a type of music, such as classical, environmental or instrumental. Obviously the configuration of each routine depends on the devices we have at home and also on our own preferences.
In the event that the Google assistant is used, it can be done exactly the same in Google Home, Going to Automation, by clicking on the button Create, selecting Home either Staff depending on whether we are going to share or not the routine and selecting both the activators like the Actions in the same way that we have done it in the application of Alexa.
