Can I set an alarm on Alexa to wake up to my favourite station?

Yes, you can. Amazon have introduced a feature which makes it possible to set up an Alexa Routine听to make Alexa perform a requested action at a specific time.听For example, this is a great way to wake up at 07:00 to 成人论坛 Radio 4. Here鈥檚 how to do just that (just change the time and station to suit you):

  1. Navigate to Routines in the Alexa app
  2. Tap + in the top-right corner
  3. Tap Enter Routine name and add a name for the routine e.g. "Radio 4 alarm"
  4. Tap When this happens, then select Schedule and set the time to 07:00
  5. Choose the frequency, i.e. daily, weekdays etc.
  6. Tap Add action and select Customised
  7. Enter "Play 成人论坛 Radio 4"
  8. Tap Next, then Save
  9. Finally, confirm the device you want this to happen on

As you can set up multiple routines, be creative and wake up to a different station each day!

While this should work, we recommend you use a dedicated alarm for when you really have to get up (for an appointment听or a flight, etc). External problems, like an internet issue or power outage,听could cause a routine to fail.
