Automations routines on speaker

[Snowmum836]

I have set a routine in Automations to play music starting at a set time on our dining room speaker. It works well but how do I set a stop time as I don't want it to play all day. I have set up 2 automations and one seems to stop the other will go on until we tell the speaker to stop. I want this automation to work while we are away from home so we won't be there to tell the speaker to stop.

Hi Snowmum836,

Thanks for posting. I understand that you want to create just one routine in Automations to play music starting at a set time on your dining room speaker and then stop without you having to say the command. I appreciate the information provided. Don't worry; help is here.

Here are some steps that you can try:

• Open the Google Home app.

• Tap Automations > Add > select Personal.

• To name your routine, tap Untitled.

• Add the preferred start time at a specific time when you want the routine to start.

• Add the preferred "Action" and then choose the "Try adding your own" option. With this option, you need to type the action you want during the routine but also choose a time frame, like "Play 'name of playlist' for 1 hour, then stop."

• Then choose Configuration and select the speaker where it will play.

• Tap Save.

Please let me know how that goes.

Best regards,

Jenny
