Ask Alexa to perform something in the future

[weslsew]

I would like to be able to say, "Alexa, turn off the lamp in 15 minutes" and things along that line. I don't know if that is something that Amazon intends to include in the future, but for now, is there an easy way to implement this?

jon00's echo skill helper might fit the bill. I don't use it so can't comment specifically. http://www.jon00.me.uk/index.shtml

My helper uses the Homeseer Automation skill (Tell/Ask Homeseer to...) but it does support time triggers for a single defined event.

Examples:

Ask Homeseer to set an event for six thirty two AM
Ask Homeseer to set an event for ten seventeen PM
Ask Homeseer to set an event in one hour
Ask Homeseer to set an event in ninety minutes
Ask Homeseer to set an event on Friday at six fifteen AM
