Experience sunrise with your blinds on: Yes, you can recreate the wake-up lighting i.e., sunrise even in a room with closed blinds. One can simulate a natural sunrise using Alexa’s Wake-up lighting capability. Smart lights that support dimming and colour temperature can easily mimic the sunrise by gradually brightening and transitioning from warm to cool lighting to help one slowly wake up out of deep sleep.

Switching an electric appliance on or off after a specific period of time: You can easily do this with almost every appliance. One such example would be, "Alexa, turn off the AC after 15 minutes." You can even give the command for an electrical appliance to start at a certain time by saying, "Alexa, turn on the lights at 6 PM today." (Image Source: Getty)
