Timer / Delay For Routines

Would like to see the ability to setup a routine that allows you to take an action, wait for X amount of time and then do another action. In my case I was to be able to turn on an Amazon Smart Plug, by saying "Alexa plug on" it turn on for 4 minutes then it automatically turn off.

The Alexa routines only allow calendar schedules but not a wait tyime between actions. Is it possible to add this feature or is there a work around?

That's not something that's available at this point in time. I'd suggest posting this as a feature request in Uservoice for Alexa over here.
