Step 1: Open the Alexa app.
Step 2: Select the More option at the bottom of the screen.
Step 4: Click the large plus icon to create a new Routine.

Step 6: Click When this happens, then select Schedule.
Step 7: Select At Time, then choose the time of day you’d like your smart plug to turn on. You can also choose to have it repeated for multiple days of the week. Select Next when you’re done.
Step 8: Select Add action, then click Smart Home.
Step 9: Choose your device, then use the toggle to switch on your Amazon Smart Plug.
