I set up two tags that trigger the Bedtime routine and taped one to the side of my wife and I's bedside tables. I much prefer scanning the tag over bothering with my phone or yelling at Google (until I give up and do it on my phone anyways).
I also set up a few medication reminder tags for my wife. Reminder triggers once an hour until she taps the tag on the pill bottle. Very handy with medications on different schedules.
The spouse acceptance factor is huge. Nothing for her to remember.
