Amazon Fire Stick owners discover a ‘routine’ benefit for an instant boost

AMAZON’S Fire TV Stick has a handy feature that can automate your life and television experience – and save you money.

Imagine waking up to BBC Breakfast playing on your television as you walk into the living room on a Sunday morning.

What about CBeebies for the kids when they get home from school?

It’s a routine function that can make you feel like you’ve been plucked from the present and dropped into the future.

Amazon’s Routine feature on the Fire Stick is the best way to let the device set up your perfect morning and eliminate the hassle of shorting channels when you’re dealing with yogurt-y lunch boxes.

Routines can really simplify your day and night.

You can easily set a sleep timer using just your voice, which can prevent the television from blaring all night long and increasing your energy bill.

Amazon’s other smart TV devices, such as Fire TV Cube and Fire TV itself, are also compatible with this feature.

The tech giant has even partnered with broadcasters like iHeartRadio and NPR, as well as wellness app Headspace for curated, downloadablee routines that users do not have to create themselves.

How to set it up

The feature can be found in the Alexa app, which is available on both iOS and Android devices.

To access it, simply open the app and look for the Routine feature under the More section.

Then press the + button to add a new routine to your day.

From there you can set actions on your keyphrases so you never have to leave the couch again.
