how do i set smart plug to work as a timer null

With the app I set up a routine. 1 to turn on the light at a set time, another to turn off the light

Hi pam, Open the Alexa app on your phone. Tap the devices tab on the bottom-right of the page. Choose “Plugs” on the top. Choose the plug you want to control. Tap “Create a routine” on the bottom of the page. Tap the + button on the top-right of the page. Tap the + button next to “When this happens.” Choose “Schedule.” Select the time you want to turn the plug on (or off) and then select the days of the week you want this to apply to. Tap “Create.” Repeat the steps if you want it to automatically turn off at a certain time too. I hope this helps. Thank you!

You can find that feature in your Alexa app. I have "lights off" set to trun all lights off at 10:30 pm and I have "sunset lights" which Imhave set to come on 25 minutes before sunset. Yes, it adjusts for changes in sunset times because Alexa controls it and it knows when sunset is for my area. I could just have them set tomcome on at a specific time also. Lots of helpful videos on the Tube.

Dont know if it will work as a timer per say but you can set it up to turn on and off at certain times of your chossing

After you connect it to your wifi network and Alexa, you would need to create a routine using the Alexa app. When creating the task, you will tell it what to do and when (e.g. turn on/off during sunset/midnight).
