In this guide, I reveal my top 10 Alexa Work From Home routine actions. As more people find themselves working remotely due to Covid-19, I thought I’d share how Alexa fully automates my, otherwise manual, tasks each working day.
Alexa Work From Home routines are super easy to setup and can help improve productivity. You can initiate an Alexa routine from your Smart Phone (Alexa App) or any Amazon Echo devices.
How Alexa Automates my Working Day
I have a few Alexa routines that I use daily; just before I start work in the morning, at lunchtime and when I finish work in the evening.

Desk LEDs
My desk LEDs are set to power on. I call this my smart LED bar as it is setup to pulse blue if rain is in the area, to flash rainbow colours as a reminder to walk my dog and flash red if my Arlo video doorbell detects motion.

Fans Plug
My Fans smart plug is set to power on. I am not keen on messy cables so I keep my electronics in a DIY media cabinet.
Media Cabinet
To avoid my electronics from overheating, I installed cooling fans which are powered via USB and connected to a smart Wi-Fi plug.
