The wizard routines have recently seen a number of developments from Android home screen shortcuts to a new editing UI, and Google is now rolling out sunset / sunrise triggers for some users.
As part of a visual makeover that cleans up the authoring interface, there is a new way to “start your routine”. “Sunrise Sunset” joins existing option “Voice command” in which you can create a custom phrase and “Time”.
After choosing one, you can “Select a location”, as well as if the wizard routine fires at the precise event or at some interval before / after it. Then users specify which days it should repeat and the device. There is also the standard option to receive a notification on your phone when it is invoked.
In the past, users who wanted something similar could manually set a general time, but had to take into account changes throughout the year. Now it can be precisely and automatically tuned to the sun. This is especially useful for turning smart lighting on or off in your home.
The ability to have Sunset / Sunrise Wake Up Wizard Routines has yet to be widely implemented, with only one report on Reddit tonight. It seems to match the visual adjustments that hit the edit page. Look for the new design and function in the Google Home app or in the Routines menu in the Assistant settings.
