Hello my dear friends!
This routine will allow you to add the comfort music to your daily routine. In this case the music served as a noice generation for improving the comfort of a person that uses the private spaces. It can be used as well as a comfort music for the time when you wake up / entering the house / clicking the switch. The main routine will be the same.
