Voice control is the next step in ultimate saltwater tank automation. It comes in extremely handy when your hand are wet or full of supplies. The setup was extremely easy and has came in very handy. If you want to help support the channel at no extra cost, I have placed my Amazon affiliate links to the parts used in automating my Ecotech Reeflink below in the comments.

I've not found a way to tell it to turn on in "x" minutes.
I created a workaround with the smart switches that automatically flip to "on" at the top of each hour in case I forget.
You also need this in case of power outage. The default will not be "on" when power and Wi-Fi is restored.
So by scheduling the switch to be turned on at the top of every hour of every day, if I ever lose power or I ever forget that I turned a pump off, I'm covered.
