I can't even find scheduling in the app now. Hateful bloody thing.
Set a routine in Alexa. When you say "alexa turn the heating on" get it to follow a routine with the instruction "alexa turn heating to 18 degrees".
Oh, that's genius, if it works! Why didn't I think of that? Fool of a Took.
It works!
You absolute legend, I owe you a pint.
Good to hear. I've yet to find much of a use for routines beyond a smart plug that turns the Christmas Tree lights on an off at a certain time.

I do this also. I routed what felt like half a mile of fairy lights around the house one Christmas. It took half a day of hammering in pins and cable clips. After Christmas I thought "I'm ****ed if I'm taking them down just to hang them all back up again in several months' time" so they've stayed up year-round. They're on a smart plug which is on a Routine, left to its own devices (no pun intended) they come on at dusk and go off at dawn.
The other Routine which is invaluable is "Alexa, goodnight." This shuts down every smart thing in the house. Lights, plugs, TV, and now the heating as well.
