Along with the Hindi support Amazon also announces Alexa Routines support for Fire TV in India. Using the Alexa app, users can now set up Routines selecting actions such as powering their TV on or off, opening a specific app, playing specific content, and pausing or resuming content, in addition to other actions on their Alexa-enabled and smart home devices, such as turning on the light or changing the AC temperature.
For example, “Alexa, I’m getting a snack,” Alexa will pause the Fire TV content and turn on smart lights. You can also create a Routine so that when they say “Alexa, time for bed,” Alexa will turn off the TV and begin dimming the smart lights.
