Can’t use routines?! Why??
I have 3 Alexa Devices including this one. So, I bought this for my primary alarm clock, thinking it would be awesome as a full time college student, to be able to set routines that wake me up automatically/turn on the lamp/start flash briefing to help me wake up at different times of the week, given that I wake up at different times on Monday, Wednesday, Friday than I do on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s. So I go to set it up and they say that amazon won’t set up routines or groups with the Show or Spot. Why not? Why severely limit your product like that?? It makes no sense. Please change this as it’s totally nonsensical not to allow them to utilize what i think is the most crucial feature of the Alexa Line. I’m totally and completely bummed that the number one reason I bought it is for nothing. I also feel there should be some sort of visible disclaimer stating that it can’t participate in one of your most beneficial features. Totally stupid.
