“Follow up to auto night light on / off based on time. It says "Voice starter is required to save" so it cannot just trigger with time.”

Hello, Thank you for following up with the Night Light On/ Off routine. You are correct you do indeed need to add a voice starter to save the routine. If you also add the time of day/night and select the days of the week the routine will function without you speaking to the assistant. We were able to get our Smart Clock Essential to turn the night night on/off without speaking to the Assistant, having the time trigger the action. Here is a revised list of steps. To get started please open up the Google Home app on your smart phone or tablet. Next select "routines". After that please select your Smart Clock Essential from the device list at the bottom of the screen. Next please select the mult-colored "+ " Sign to add a new custom routine. Then Add a starter with the time of day to start the routine. Lastly add a custom action. Please type "Turn on night light" in the text box of the custom action. You have now created a custom routine to turn your nightlight on at a certain time. To turn the night light off you will need to crate a custom routine again using the above method but changing the routine action text to "Turn nightlight Off" at the specified time. In order to save the routine or routines you will need to add a voice starter. For the voice starter please type "Night light on" or "Night light off". Once saved the routine will trigger without you speaking to the assistant and the action will be performed at the time you have specified.
