Starting a routine at a custom specified time
I have a routine to help me leave work on time, which triggers at 5pm every day and runs a countdown time routine for half an hour so I'm ready to leave at 5.30pm.
Sometimes I want to leave work at a different time and want to be able to say 'Hey google, help me leave work at [time]' and for the routine to be scheduled to start then.
I've looked through the home and assistant apps to look for ways to specify a condition to be used as the start time but I can't find anything. Bard suggested that I could add a condition in the home app, but I can't see this.
Is this possible?

Hey jhob, thanks for reaching out to Google Assistant Help Community.
I really think this would be a great way for you to be organized and get going. But, unfortunately Google Assistant cannot do that right now. Google Assistant Routines have these starter options now, they are - specified time, sunrise/sunset, or after an alarm is turned off, or by saying a custom phrase.
Bard may occasionally provide inaccurate results, and this is one of it.
The best way to report this and get this feature added in the coming releases is to send feedback directly to the Google team by following the steps mentioned here or by saying "Hey Google, send feedback".
Kind regards :)
