什么是Alexa例程？
Alexa例程是一个简单但功能强大的工具。例行程序是一个或多个链接在一起的动作。一个非常常见的Echo任务是调整灯光，然后阅读新闻。
没有例程，您必须要求Alexa分两个步骤执行这些任务：
“ Alexa，打开灯。"
“ Alexa，新闻发布会。"
使用例程，您可以分配一个自定义短语来执行这两个操作这些任务中-您不仅限于两个动作！
“ Alexa，工作时间。"
Routines can be customized with keywords, and they can be configured on a schedule. If you’ve got the right equipment, you could have your news flash briefing, along with the blinds opening themselves. Or what about turning your coffee machine on with a smart plug—all controlled by Alexa!
如何创建例程？
使用Alexa创建例程很容易。在Alexa应用中，通过按右下角的齿轮转到设置页面。向下滚动并从帐户页中选择常规。
通过按加号按钮。
Start by choosing When this happens. This is where you’ll configure what particular action will trigger your scene. On the next page, choose how you want your routine to be triggered: either when you say a phrase or at a certain time.
下一步，选择添加操作。这就是您希望Alexa在此例程中执行的操作。您可以从几个类别中进行选择，甚至可以让Alexa向您说某些短语。
选择动作后，请按底部的添加按钮。现在，您可以添加其他操作，或者如果完成，则在底部选择 Create 。
5个很棒的Amazon Alexa例程
现在您知道了编程Alexa例程非常容易，这里有五个入门。
This is a simple one. Just like a radio alarm clock, get your daily news briefing from Alexa. Configure your routine to run on a schedule—perhaps 7am on weekdays. Add a new action and choose the news option.
新闻发布后，为天气添加一个新操作，如果可以，请选择智能家居，然后选择要打开的灯光。
This one involves a bit of forward planning, but why not have Alexa say happy birthday to you or a family member? Configure your routine on a schedule (although you’re limited to one week in advance).
要执行此操作，请选择 Alexa说，然后选择生日。在这里，您可以从一系列问候中选择，从简单的“生日快乐"到更复杂的消息。
While Alexa supports smart lighting, voice control can sometimes be troublesome. Ask Alexa to turn on the lights, and you might be greeted with darkness, while that sarcastic, robotic voice cheerily replies “I found several lights, which one do you mean”. With this routine, you can easily configure Alexa to control lights, without needing to be so specific in your request.
从说些什么开始您的日常工作。输入您选择的短语，例如“白天工作"或“晚上放松"。虽然命令要求您使用Echo的唤醒词，但不必在此处键入。
要执行操作，请选择智能家居，然后选择指示灯和颜色。完成后，继续为每种不同的灯光添加任意数量的动作。
照明例程的好处是，您可以更改许多不同的灯光或其他兼容的智能设备。您不仅限于每个命令一个场景或一组。
For this routine, how about a nice greeting when you get home from work? Configure a schedule for the time you usually arrive home—Alexa doesn’t support triggering from your location or based on sensor input, unfortunately.
要执行该操作，请选择短语，然后选择我回家。从列表中选择一个合适的短语。不幸的是，无法选择随机短语。
For this final routine, let’s get a traffic update. Create a new routine, and either configure a schedule, or a voice activation.
For the action, select Traffic and then Add. That’s all there is to it on the routine side, but we’re not done just yet. In order for this to work correctly, you’ll need to configure your commute. This lets Alexa know where you’ll be driving to and from, and even lets you add stops along the way!
从导航抽屉或右下角的设置齿轮中选择设置。向下滚动到 Traffic ，然后在to / from字段中按 Add address 输入通勤详细信息。
