Hey google, 

This is an is there any way/suggest improvement post. 

Why can’t routines be combined. I seem to need an on routine and an off routine for lights rather than one routine that turns them in from this time to that time. Or even better would be a routine that can handle multiple triggers like turn the lights on at 6:30 and make them brighter at 6:45 then turn them off at 7:30. 

I also don’t seem to be able to group non speaker devices. If I have lights in two rooms that I want to be “lightS” for spoken commands, it doesn’t seem possible. 

Hope you can either tell me how or include in the next update.

Hi Philj,

Thanks for reaching out and sorry for the late response.
 

I understand that the suggested routine function is a good feature to use on your Google Home app but this isn’t available. I'd suggest you submit feedback about it, here's how. 

For the grouping of non speaker devices the best way to do it is through routines. You can create one and add the lights that you want enabled and add a starter of your preference. 
 

Check this link for more information. 
 

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Juni
