I am struggling building a routine for when we go away that will turn my lights ON and OFF based on a time schedule. I can build the custom routine with a starter “when the time is” that will turn the lights ON but how do I get the action to turn the lights OFF at a scheduled time.
Do I need to build an additional routine with a Starter that does the OFF action? If so, must I then speak both routine commands?
I would think there would be the functionality within a single routine to have multiple Starters based on time. “At 4:30 PM turn ON” at 10:30 PM Turn OFF

For anyone else who is looking here are some options:
This depends a little on what you want to do.
If you are using lights you can say something like "Turn Living Room Lamp on for 6 hours".
If you want to use a scheduled routine you can setup a routine that uses a delay start. The routine might look something like this:
Starter

I did just find the Delay Start function for my routine and I set it to 6 hours with the action to turn the lights OFF.
