But I cannot create a routine or change its time with my voice.

I can say "Alexa, set my alarm tomorrow at 7 in the morning". I wish I could say "Alexa, open my curtains at 6:45 in the morning tomorroe" instead of having to go to my cellphone and use the clunky Alexa app.

It just seems like a wasted opportunity for a routine. I'm sure a lot more things would be available if Amazon let developers use more features.

Seems like it'd get unwieldy fast. Would need an efficient interface for listing and editing registered tasks, or you might get stuck with a couple of hundred tasks of the type 'Alexa, say fart fart fart at three/four/five in the morning' if a kid ever where to pass through the house.

We're not asking to construct a complex schedule via voice command, the app is sufficient for that. Sometimes you just want your curtains opened at 6:45 tomorrow because something is happening and you just thought of it. That's would actually be convenient.

This works for me. I just said "turn my office lights on at 6:45 pm" and it did just fine.
