Title: No routines
Post by: Scanlighy on February 05, 2018, 06:26:04 am
Hi all this is my first post on this forum

My echo dot is fully running and all smart devices work like a charm.

Now i would like to add routines.
But unfortunately this option is not showing up in the menu.

How can i fix this to make use of routines.

With kind regards

It shows up in my android app.

This is exactly the problem  :) routines is not in the option list. Not in the normal menu or in the account menu

Which country is your account set to?

I set mine to USA after getting tired of new stuff not showing up in German/UK accounts...

Of course I live in a non-Alexa country so I can switch countries as much as I like as I cannot use 'local' skills anyway ( :'(). But if that is an option, you could try switching... (Note: all skills that require account linking have to be linked again if you switch countries)
