“Alexa, wake me up at 8 am”.
Then, an Alexa routine will do whatever you want, when the alarm goes off. Believe me, it’s simpler than you think. Try it.Trying it now but I expect it to play a noise (as well as possibly trip the switch).....
I created a routing called 'Wake up' which runs when I say 'Alexa, wake me up'
We shall see in about 5 minutes

Yep it played a noise which is exactly what I don't want it to do. All I want it to do is silently flick a switch at a dynamic time. Routines can be scheduled on a regular basis which would do the same as setting the alarm clock in Openluup, a bit easier than the on the web UI I guess but looks like that's the limit. Unless I'm (still) missing something!

@CatmanV2 under devices you have alarm and can specify a zero volume for that device. No beeps.
You cannot do what you want (specify a custom parameter) without a custom skill.

Fair enough. I've got a closish approximation that lets me set the Alarm Clock plugin to the hour (which for this purpose is actually probably OK.
It is a bit odd that there's no ability to say 'Do this thing at 0800 tomorrow' for all the things that Alexa can interact with. Seems like a simple addition, but what do I know

maybe you can create something using this => https://blueprints.amazon.com/
Never tried with it directly, but it should be doable.
