I’d like to set a routine for when I’m away - tell Alexa I’m leaving - and have my smart switch come on at a set time then go off at a set time until I return and tell Alexa I’m home- the away time may vary

I think Alexa Guard might do the trick for you!
With Guard, Alexa can help you keep your home safe. Using connected smart lights, Alexa can automatically turn them on and off to make it look like someone is home when you’re away. Also, when you set Guard to Away mode, Alexa can send you Smart Alerts via notifications to your phone if an Echo device detects the sound of smoke alarms, carbon monoxide alarms, or glass breaking. Guard also works with security systems from Ring and ADT.
To use this feature:
Open the Alexa app.
Go to Menu (three line icon) > Settings.
Scroll down and select the Guard option.
It'll ask you to confirm and enter your zip code to use the Away Lighting aspect.
Once you've set up Alexa Guard, just say, "I'm leaving," to switch to Away mode. The light ring on your Echo devices will animate with a rotating white light to indicate when Guard is in Away mode. Say, "I'm home," to switch Guard to Home mode.
