Hello, thank you for posting this video. I used Guard Away feature for the randomization of lights on beginning at sunset. I noted that lights continued to be on throughout the day when they are no longer useful. How can I get Alexa to turn off all lights from 1 AM to sunset and still have Guard Away do its random light operation each day?

ramp the brightness is not available outside US, that's frustrating.

I bought some Amazon basic color changing bulbs. Online it says they preset “scenes” but I can’t figure them out.

Do I need an hub or can it run directly off alexa

Nick, hope you're still looking at the comments, I would love to find out how or figure out how to make certain of my smart bulbs flash or blink repetitively when my Ring doorbell motion sensor is triggered. Any ideas?

Can you help me create an automation? how can I make an automation to make the lightbulb change to a designated color When We flipped the switch. On-off-on?

I like colorful lights. My family member wants white light. I would like to be able to program AI to change the light to a colorful light. And then we use the switch to turn it off. And back on and when it turns on it's a normal color.

When I go to set up this routine my Echo's are not listed under Smart Home. Is there a different step you took?

I get notified by my echo device when there's a weather alert like a tornado watch. Why can't I use a weather alert to trigger a routine to set up a color coded weather alert for deaf people who can't hear the audio. There are three categories of alerts, so the logical colors would be green for advisories, yellow for watches, and red for warnings.

You LOST ME! How will it shut off at sunrise? It only indicated to turn on @ sunset. Or does it automatically know to shut off by setting up for sunset?

And don't say computer. You'll trigger my Alexa unit.
