How to create an Alexa or Google routine to change the channel while recording?

How do I create an Alexa (or Google) routine to change the channel on the Roku Ultra? I am trying to record a movie or sitcom that comes on at 2 am so I need to change the channel to record it. I have a Roku Ultra connected to the Cloner Alliance.

    Welcome, Nanuk007 

    It sounds like you're looking to automate a channel change using Alexa or Google Assistant. Roku Ultra doesn't natively support direct channel switching through Alexa or Google routines. Consider getting in touch with Amazon or Google support for further help.

    Seems like that is something Roku should implement. I wanted to record something at 11pm then at 2:30am record something on a different channel. I’ve tried contacting Google Support before and never heard from them. Not sure about Alexa..
