  1. Pick specific days for routines

    I'd like to be able to pick specific days to run routines, not only ONE day of the week, weekdays or weekends.

  2. all devices

  3. Written commands in routines

    Add ability to add a written command to a routine that would act as if the user spoke a voice command.

    E.g.
    Routine scheduled at 7:00 AM:
    - turn on Light
    - tell you something new

    (New): - perform “Alexa, open Headspace”

    This would enable skills in routines while leveraging the existing abilities of the Echo, just by allowing written commands to be interpreted as voice commands on a schedule. This should be fairly simple to implement with what it is already is capable of, but would immediately and hugely…
