But that's what I couldn't do in the current instance--unless I set a scheduled time for the plug to turn on and turn off. That's how I worked my Christmas lights--I created a routine for them come on at five and go off at midnight.

I can understand that people have an aversion/trouble with voice commands. But for me, if an Alexa device is available, I would rather say "Alexa goodnight" than have to pick up my phone, swipe to the widgets, and then press the power button on the appropriate widget.

Most of the time, I'm using the dedicated remotes and not any app. So I just hit the off button (or the sleep timer when they have that function); no Alexa needed. Old school!
