Activate Google routine without unlocking phone

In my house I have IKEA tradfri lights in several rooms. I can schedule those lights with the app from IKEA. I have them connected tot Google Home for more commands.

My kids are at their father's every other week so their lights shouldn't turn on in the morning. Same when I'm not at home. The IKEA app nor the GH app provide these options.

I can schedule macrodroid triggers with calendar appointments, day of the week etc. That already works with my alarms. The part which I can't figure out is how to start a GH routine, without unlocking my phone. I've tried to setup a webhook with IFTTT, but it can't use GA as an action. IKEA tradfri isn't available there either.

Another route I was thinking about is (de)activating routines in GH that already have days of the week and times as a trigger. But even with unlocking my phone for this, there is a chance the routine isn't in the same location anymore because I have added or deleted routines at some point.

Anyone any ideas?

I think there is a way to do this either by calling Google Assistant and typing the text (UI Interaction action -> Paste)/speak the text using TTS (speak text action).
