Have your mornings streamlined and scheduled.

[post_ads]Google Assistant introduced multi-step routines
earlier this year, allowing for a combination of several actions
(toggling lights, changing the thermostat, etc.) to be carried out with
one command. At the time, it was said that Google was also planning to
add the ability to schedule routines, but no timeframe was given except “later this summer.” Now, as Droid Life spotted on Reddit, it looks like the scheduling feature is rolling out.
As
of yesterday, some users are seeing the option, which appears within
the Google Home app. Tap Settings, then Routines, and then the “+”
button to create a routine. If its available for you, there should also be an option to “Set a time and day (optional).”

This should be supremely helpful for people actively using the
routines. You could schedule Google Home’s Morning Routine for when you
wake up every day, prompting actions like taking your phone off silent
and adjusting the lights automatically instead of having to ask Google
every morning.

For the scheduled routines to run, a Google Home
unit needs to be selected to run the actions. One a device finishes
running a routine, it will give an audio acknowledgment and notify you
on your phone.
